Each year we hold Ecumenical Services to remember all babies who died around the time of birth. Below are our dates for 2011.

Blessing of Remembrance Glasnevin Cemetery - Old Angels Memory Garden ONLY -29th May at 3pm

ISANDS Blessing of Remembrance & Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony in association with Glasnevin Trust takes place in Glasnevin Cemetery at the New Angles Graves only on 11th December 2011 at 4pm.

This year we have decided to hold two Blessings of Remembrance in Glasnevin Cemetery. The first takes place in May at the Old Angels Memory Garden where we will have parents, family and friends taking part whose babies are buried in both the old and the new burial areas. We hope you will all come along and join in our special way of remembering ALL the children buried in Glasnevin.

As many of you will know, the proposed work on the New Angels graves is due to start in April/May of this year. For that reason and obviously for the health and safety of managing a large crowd on the day we have postponed our Blessing at the New Angels graves until December, this will also incorporate the Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony.

It will be lovely to have two special days in the cemetery and we hope that parents and families who have babies buried anywhere in Glasnevin or indeed in any cemetery will attend both our Blessings of Remembrance.
