Every year, around the world, on December 6th at 7:00 PM, families and friends come together at their local Angel of Hope memorial statue. They gather to remember the children that they miss each and every day. A wave of light around the world is created, as candles are lit at each site, reminding us that we are never alone in our grief.
The Hendricks County Angel of Hope invites you to
join them for the 18th Annual Candlelight Vigil
Saturday, December 6th, 2025
7:00PM (doors open at 6:00PM)
Avon Parkside Church of the Nazarene
47 N County Rd 625 E, Avon, IN
The doors will open at 6:00 PM on Saturday, 12/6/25, at the Avon Parkside Church of the Nazarene. The program will begin at 7:00 PM. Dress for the weather. Just as in years past, we will still end the program outside at the Angel of Hope Memorial Statue. In order to avoid the registration line, you can register online prior to the event at: https://forms.gle/7ZQyZXv1yMGCCoFD6
Avon Parkside Church of the Nazarene is just west of the Avon Town Hall Park. There is a paved path from the church to the Angel of Hope. The walk to the Angel is about a quarter of a mile. There is a small lot available for handicapped parking, with an entrance nearby the path. More parking information is in the comments. We are so grateful to Avon Parkside Church for allowing us to use their space again this year. It allows for significantly more seating, while still being a short walk to the Angel of Hope.
We are happy to again be able to share a Remembrance Video this year as well! It is so special to be able to recognize the precious lives that have changed our world. For those that would like to include a photo of their child(ren), high-quality JPEG or PNG files can be submitted on the registration form (https://forms.gle/7ZQyZXv1yMGCCoFD6), but if you have trouble attaching photos to the form, you can email them to [email protected]. If you don't have a picture or would rather not use a picture, you can send the child's name along with a symbol (butterflies, roses, etc.) you like to use when remembering your child and we will put a picture together for you. All photos MUST be emailed by 1:00 PM, on Sunday, November 30th. Photos received in previous years will not be included unless they are resubmitted for the 2025 Candlelight Vigil.
We are looking forward to this special evening together.
