Annual Memorial Service – Friday, June 16th
Each year, we gather together to honour and remember the residents at Menno Place who have passed away in the year previous.
If your loved one passed away in the previous 12 months, you are invited to join us as we celebrate and honour their lives.
We’d love to have you participate by bringing along a favorite picture or memento to place on a memorial table, share a poem or Scripture verse, or simply share a memory with us. All of this is optional.
The Memorial Service takes place at Menno Hospital Chapel on Friday, June 16th at 2pm.
It is followed by the Butterfly Release at 3pm. Butterflies are purchased and released to celebrate and remember. Click to purchase a butterfly.
