MSC Light Up a Memory Mass about ‘passing the flame of remembrance through generations’

The Missionaries of the Sacred Heart (MSC) will hold its annual Light Up a Memory Mass on November 7 at Sacred Heart Church in Cork. The candlelit ceremony is part of the MSC Novena for Holy Souls, which runs from November 2 to November 10.

Karen Moloney, MSC communications executive, said the event aims to remember friends and family in a joyful way and to spread light during the month of November. This year, the ceremony will include a screen to display the names of loved ones submitted for remembrance. To assist those participating online or from other locations, the MSC has introduced a website portal where participants can submit names directly instead of calling the office.

The event will feature music from the Island of Ireland Peace Choir. Irish tenor Declan Kelly is scheduled to perform following the Mass.
