Southington Care Center's 'Light the World' rescheduled to Dec. 8

SOUTHINGTON - Due to the winter weather, Southington Care Center's "Light the World" has been rescheduled for Sunday, Dec. 8, at 6:30 p.m., at 45 Meriden Ave. The event is to honor loved ones who have passed away and to uplift those who have a need. In addition to the reading of the names of those remembered, there will be special music and recognition of someone who “lights the world” with care and compassion.

Luminaries with the names of loved ones will line the driveway and sidewalks. A suggested donation is appreciated with proceeds going to the Southington Care Center Pastoral Care Program to provide ongoing spiritual care and needed materials for residents and families.

“We will come together in peace and hope to celebrate those whom we love,” said the Rev. Victoria Triano, director of Pastoral Care at Southington Care Center. “This will be a night of joy remembering those whom we treasure with grateful hearts.”

Deadline is Nov. 22 to reserve a luminary and to have the person’s name inscribed on it. Anyone who is remembering a loved one or would like to honor someone special is encouraged not only to reserve a luminary but to participate in this event. To receive a form or for further information, stop by or call Southington Care Center at 860.621.9559.

Southington Care Center, a not for profit member of Hartford HealthCare Senior Services, offers skilled nursing, rehabilitation services and palliative care. For more information about Southington Care Center, visit http://southingtoncare.org.
