The Kauai Hospice annual candlelighting memorial, sponsored by Matson, was a touching event that took place at the Immaculate Conception Church in Kapaia. Deacon Dave Kane opened the ceremony, highlighting the diverse reasons why attendees were there to honor their loved ones. The event was filled with music from Paul Togioka and the Chiefess Kamakahelei Middle School Choir, creating a space for remembrance and reflection.
Caroline Miura from Kauai Hospice emphasized that love never dies, reinforcing the theme of the event. The memorial will continue with upcoming ceremonies at the Hanapepe Hawaiian Congregational Church on Thursday and at the Saint Sylvester Catholic Church on December 10th. Both events are free and open to the public, offering an opportunity for individuals to light a candle in memory of their loved ones.
The community is invited to participate in these upcoming candlelighting memorials to pay tribute to those who have passed away. More information can be found on the Kauai Hospice website. These ceremonies provide a space for healing, reflection, and connection, allowing attendees to come together in remembrance of their loved ones. The annual candlelighting memorial serves as a comforting and meaningful tradition for the community of Kauai.
