St. Francis Hospice Dublin – A Time to Remember
Christmas is a special time when we remember all those we have cared for as we light our Christmas Tree during our Tree of Life Ceremonies held in the grounds of both hospices (Raheny and Blanchardstown).
You can remember a loved one by dedicating a light on our Hospice Christmas Trees. Lights on the Christmas Tree may be be sponsored until the end of December, €5 per light. if you wish to sponsor a light you may do so by contacting the hospice on 01-8327535 or online www.sfh.ie or just call into the hospice at Raheny or Blanchardstown and sponsor your light(s) through main reception.
Thank you for your support of St. Francis Hospice.
Advent Healing Service – 13th December
Christmas is not always a happy time for people and often burdens we carry can
feel worse at a time when there is so much stress and expectation of happiness.
This simple and welcoming service offers and opportunity to come together and
place our worries and concerns in the empty manager and invite Jesus to come into
our lives with His healing presence. Petitions for prayers may be written and left in
our petition box placed on the Sanctuary. All these intentions will be prayed for
during our healing service. It is our hope that all will leave feeling blessed, supported and
stronger for the Christmas Season
