In our Catholic tradition we light votive candles in prayer. The light reminds us of Christ. With the light of faith, we petition our Lord in prayer (or petition the saint for intercession.)  The light also shows a special reverence and our desire to remain present to the Lord in prayer even though we may leave and go about our daily business. 

In our newly renovated church space we will have votive candle stands for the faithful to offer up prayers. Our new candle stands are much the same as the ones pictured here at the right.    If you’re interested in sponsoring $15,000 for either the Jesus Votive Candle Stand or the Mary Votive Candle Stand, please contact Gina Mehta in our parish office or Father Anthony.
