Special Mass held to remember those who died in Limerick hospitals

A special Mass will be celebrated on Sunday, 18 October, to honour loved ones who have died at University Hospital Limerick and St John’s Hospital.

The annual remembrance service begins at 2 pm in the Redemptorist Church, Mount Saint Alphonsus, Limerick City. It is open to people of all faiths, spiritual traditions or none, and will feature prayer, music and a period of quiet reflection.

Attendees are invited to bring a photograph or memento of the deceased for a special blessing during the ceremony. The service will bring together family members, friends and hospital staff to collectively remember those who have passed away in the local hospitals.

Organisers describe the Mass as an inclusive setting that offers support and a shared space for remembrance. The event forms part of a yearly tradition of community remembrance in Limerick.
