Tree of Light

Christmas is a special time of year for families and friends, but for many people who have lost someone close, it can be a time of sadness.  We understand this and are here to help.

If you are thinking of a loved one who won't be with you this Christmas, our Tree of Light Service provides you and your family with the opportunity to reflect and remember someone special. Everyone is welcome, regardless of whether the loss is recent, some time ago, or if the person being remembered was cared for by St Catherine's or elsewhere.

Emily Russell's husband Mike died at St Catherine's in 2006 and Emily attended our Tree of Light Service in 2007.  Read about her experience.

Our main Tree of Light Service will take place on Sunday 7 December 2008 at K2 Leisure Centre in Crawley from 4pm. St Catherine's is also organising smaller additional Tree of Light services.

Many people also find that sponsoring a light on our tree is a positive way to remember a loved one or friend.  To sponsor a light, please download and complete a form.

In recognition of your donation, you will receive confirmation that your light will be shining on our tree.  You will also receive a 'candle' decoration.  You might like to hang this at home or place it on the special trees before the main service at K2.

All names sponsored will be entered into our Book of Remembrance which will be displayed at the main service at K2.  The Tree of Light will be lit during the service and will shine outside the hospice throughout the Christmas period.  During this time the trees holding the candle decorations and the Book of Remembrance will also be on view in the hospice building.
