Remember our Child service at Truro Cathedral

2:21pm Monday 12th May 2008

On Sunday May 18 at 2pm Truro Cathedral will be holding its annual Remember our Child Service.

The first Service of Remembrance took place over 20 years ago in October 1995. Since then there has been an annual service held to remember and celebrate children whose lives have been cut short. Attended by parents, siblings, friends and grandparents, the names of the children are inscribed in a special memorial book and read out during the service while a candle is also lit for each child.

Archdeacon of Bodmin, Clive Cohen, will be at this service. He and his wife, June, have suffered the bereavement of a child and are acutely aware of the importance of services such as these in helping family members and friends come to terms with their loss.

For children to be included in the book of remembrance or for more information about this service please contact Kirsten Norfolk at the Cathedral Office on 01872 245002.
