LIGHT A CANDLE FOR A LOVED ONE

VOTIVE CANDLE STANDS
 
Two new votive candle stands have been installed in Saint John XXIII Church. One has been placed directly under the icon of Our Mother of Perpetual Help on the north side of the church.  The other has been placed in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel in front of the statue of Our Lady of Grace.  A $2.00 offering is requested per candle.  This offering will help to defray the initial costs of procuring the new votive candle stands. Once we have paid off the cost of the stands, offerings will continue to be used towards the cost of candles and towards other items to enhance our sacred space.
 
Saint Killians Candle Burning System is the safest, cleaning, smokeless candle burning system in the world. The owners of Saint Killians, Michael Murphy and Michael Barrett, in seeing the destruction that traditional candles were causing to Cathedrals and churches throughout Ireland set about to invent a safer, cleaner, and environmentally-friendly way for the burning of candles in churches.  The main problems traditional candles were causing was smoke/soot damage to walls and ceilings, and fires igniting from the unprotected flame during the lighting of candles.  The inventors identified the necessity and how essential it was to eliminate the problems that the old traditional candles were causing to Cathedrals and churches throughout the world.  It took 7 years of research and development to design the Saint Killian’s Candle Burning System and with their invention they have eliminated the problems of smoke/soot damage and fires are now a thing of the past for the Cathedrals and churches that have properly installed the system into their places of worship.
