"I am the Light of the World" (JN 8:12)
Candles in the Church represent the presence of Jesus Christ and the need for all of us to walk in the grace of Jesus Christ, which dispels the darkness of unbelief and sin.
A votive light signifies our prayer offered in faith coming into the light of God. With the light of faith, we petition our Lord in prayer, or petition a saint to pray with us and for us to the Lord. The light also shows a special reverence and our desire to remain present to the Lord in prayer even though we may depart and go about our daily business.
If you cannot make it to church, a Priest will light a candle for you and pray for your intentions. Simply complete the form below, and your candle(s) will be lit within a day or two. A donation of $4 per candle is requested.
"The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it" (John 1:5)
