Embrace Farm will hold its Annual Ecumenical Remembrance Service to bring together farm families from across Ireland to remember loved ones lost within their community on Sunday, June 29.
Over the past 12 years, this service has become a pillar event for Embrace FARM, providing comfort for families impacted by a serious injury or sudden death within their family unity, and cherishing their memory. This year, the service will be held at 2 pm in the Church of the Most Holy Rosary in Abbeyleix, Co. Laois, and will be live-streamed on embracefarm.com. It will also be broadcast on RTÉ One on Sunday, July 6 at 11:00am. 
 
Honouring the tradition of adding names to the Remembrance List, Embrace FARM is asking families around the country to submit the names of their deceased loved ones to be read aloud and remembered during the service. Last year, over 350 names were honoured in the roll call.  
 
Norma Rohan, Co-founder of Embrace FARM, reflects on the organisation’s growth over the past twelve years: “Our community has faced unimaginable loss, and our Remembrance Service offers a safe, non-judgemental space for people who have had a similar experience to gather together and remember loved ones lost. Each name read aloud represents a cherished life and a family forever changed. Our commitment is to ensure that farm families impacted by serious injury or sudden death have a support system to walk this journey with them.” 
 
To include a loved one in this year’s Remembrance Service, please call or WhatsApp 085-7709966, or email info@embracefarm.com with the name, county, year of death, and a photograph if available.
