9th Annual Mass of the Angels 2024
|On Wednesday, August 21st, at 7:30 PM, we will gather in Ss. Peter & Paul’s Church, Athlone for the Annual Mass of the Angels, a heartfelt observance dedicated to the memory of all babies and children who have been called home at any stage of life. This poignant service offers a sacred space for families and friends to come together in reflection, remembrance, and prayer.
Each little one, though their time on this earth may have been brief, has left an indelible mark on the hearts of those who loved them. As we gather we unite in our collective grief and honor their precious spirits.
This Mass each year serves as a reminder that while the loss of a child is an unimaginable sorrow, we are not alone in our journey of remembrance. It is an opportunity to support one another, to share stories, and to celebrate the uniqueness of each life that was so dearly cherished, regardless of how long or short their journey.
We invite you to join us in this special evening of prayer and solidarity, as we lift these little ones in love and remembrance, creating a tapestry of hope and healing for all who gather. Together, let us ensure their memories are cherished and their spirits honored in a profound way.
All are Welcome
My angel up in heaven
I wanted you to know
I feel you watch over me
Everywhere I go.
I wish you were with me
But that can never be
Memories of you in my heart
That only I can see.
My angel up in heaven
I hope you understand
That I would give anything
If I could hold your hand.
I’d hold you oh so tightly
And never let you go
And all the love inside me
To you I would show.
My angel up in heaven
For now we are apart
You’ll always live inside of me
Deep within my heart.
