Lighting votive candles: The new votive candles may be lit to demonstrate the intention of a person's prayer. The continually burning flame symbolizes the ongoing nature of the prayer even after the person who lit the candle has left the church. Candles may be lit for loved ones who have died, in gratitude, supplication or any other intention. A donation of $3.00 is requested to offset the cost of the candles.
