Cost: free of charge

If you have lost a child before or after birth, or at any age — whether recently or long ago — join us for a special Memorial Mass on Friday , Oct. 3, at 5:45 p.m. at St. John the Baptist Church, 4500 Fairfield Ave. You will have the opportunity to record your child’s/grandchild’s name in a Book of Remembrance, to take home a silk rose in honor of him or her, and to pray together with others who have suffered the loss of a child. All are welcome, including siblings, other family members and friends. For more information, contact Lisa Everett at 574-234-0687 or [email protected]. Sponsored by the Office of Life, Marriage, and Family Formation, Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend.
