A feature of Relay For Life is the Candle of Hope Ceremony which takes place at 10pm on Friday 21st June during the event.
During the Candle of Hope Ceremony, hundreds of candle bags that have been personalised with messages of hope and remembrance are lit during a moving ceremony including music, poems, prayer and a silent walk around the lit candle bag track.
When you purchase a candle bag online, your message will be placed on one of our bags and displayed at the Candle of Hope ceremony. You can also collect bags the week before the event to decorate from the Gathering Grounds Cafe in Kilternan. We would love you to join our Candle of Hope Ceremony at Grounds of Kilternan Parish, Enniskerry Road, Kilternan, Dublin 18 D18 ET99 dusk.
