The Rooted Bridge

10/11/2022

Looking forward to celebrating the wave of light on Saturday at 630pm with our community 🕯

This Saturday, October 15th is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Day, a day when so many members of our community pause to hold space and celebrate babies that were lost too soon. Our team is honored to participate in a candle lighting ceremony on the John Siegenthaler Pedestrian Bridge with The Rooted Bridge.

The ceremony will take place at 6:30. Those who are not able to attend are invited to honor the memory of their child in other ways, including by lighting a candle at home to participate in the Wave of Light.
