Join the Johnson County for our candle lighting!

Now believed to be the largest mass candle lighting on the globe, our annual Worldwide Candle Lighting unites bereaved families in remembrance of the children, grandchildren, and siblings who have died and will never be forgotten.

On December 8th at 7 pm local time, families gather to light candles and participate in a special memorial ceremony honoring their beloved child, grandchild, or sibling.

You’re invited to attend one of the hundred formal candle lighting events or participate in quiet remembrance alongside your family at home. Whether with others or in private, you’ll join thousands of families in creating a wave of light to remember the children forever loved and forever missed.

For more information on how to participate in this meaningful event, please visit our website.
