Embrace FARM held its 11th Annual Ecumenical Remembrance Service in the Most Holy Rosary Church in Abbeyleix, Co. Laois earlier this month. It's a chance for farm families to remember loved ones lost within their community. Over the past decade, this service has become an important event, honouring those who have died suddenly and providing comfort for their families. The service was also live streamed on www.embracefarm.com
As with other years, the Embrace FARM team called on farm families to submit names of their loved ones who have died so that they can be remembered in the service. This year almost 350 people’s names were featured in the roll call.
Over the past ten years, the service has become a pinnacle event in the farming community. It acknowledges the suffering of those who have survived farm accidents and provides a place for farm families to remember loved ones who have died suddenly.
Norma Rohan, Co-Founder of Embrace FARM, commented on the importance of the service. “Our community has faced unimaginable loss, and our Remembrance Service offers a shared space for people who have had a similar experience to gather together to remember and heal. Each name read aloud represents a cherished life and a family forever changed. Our commitment is to ensure that no one walks this path alone. Since our first Remembrance Service in 2014, our services also now include support groups, events, and our Encircle Programme.”
