Embrace FARM, the support network for those affected by farm accidents, will be hosting its 5th Ecumenical Remembrance Service.
The Ecumenical Remembrance Service will take place in the Church of the Most Holy Rosary in Abbeyleix County Laois on Sunday 24th June 2018 at 2.00pm.
Embrace FARM welcomes everyone who wishes to come to the service to acknowledge anyone who has been affected by a farming accident. This event now in its firth year has been held in Abbeyleix since 2014.
The service is led by Catholic Bishop, Denis Nulty and Church of Ireland Bishop, Michael Burrows with local clergy from the Church of Ireland, Canon Harvey and Roman Catholic, Fr. Cummins.
Embrace FARM will be represented by co-founders Norma & Brian Rohan and the voluntary board of directors who give their time freely in the development of the organisation.
Embrace FARM were contacted by 130 families to have their loved ones remembered at this year’s Ecumenical Service. Behind these numbers is a father, mother, a husband, a wife, a child, a relative, someone important to a family and a community.
Throughout 2017, Embrace FARM continued its work in drawing awareness of those affected by farming accidents. It held residential family weekends in Portlaoise where several families and their children came to share their experiences and support one another in how losing a loved one has impacted and changed their lives.
