Lighting a candle is an act of faith. As Catholics, either for ourselves, or for another, we say about a circumstance in need of our prayers that we have lit a candle. 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 shine: a symbol of love and devotion and a physical, tangible reminder of our faith in the mercy, compassion, and love of God, and a request for others to join in the prayer intention represented by this light of faith.
If you are unable to light a candle yourself, through this page, you can ask for candles to be lit at a location of your chosing at Saint Anne church. Simply complete the requested information below.
