Remembrance Service
Grief at any time is poignant and COVID-19 presents additional complications. During the pandemic restrictions, it is not permissible for the Mater Misericordiae University Hospital to host our annual remembrance services and bereavement support evenings for those who have died over the last year.
Remembering with thanksgiving those who have died
In the absence of traditional rituals and gatherings, the staff of the Mater Misericordiae University Hospital recorded a Remembrance Service to support those who are mourning, as a way for relatives to join together to grieve the passing of family and friends.
Gone from sight, but not forgotten.
