Lighting a candle is an act of faith, whether for ourselves, or for someone elses intention. The act of lighting a votive candle before an icon, a statue or a relic is an act of spiritual communion with Our Lord.
When we walk away – going about our daily lives – the candle continues to burn: a symbol of love and devotion and a physical, tangible reminder of our faith in the mercy, compassion, and love of God, and serves as a request for others to join in praying for the intention represented by this light of faith.
If you are unable to come and light a candle yourself, through this page, you can ask for candles to be lit at a location of your chosing here at Saint Anne church. Simply complete the requested information.
