Light up a Life – St Albans

Each year, as winter draws near, we come together as a community to remember the people we love and miss.

We warmly welcome friends old and new to join us at St Albans Cathedral for our annual Light up a Life remembrance service. Our Light up a Life service is a simple non-faith celebration, with music, readings and reflections but – most importantly – a chance for you to pause, reflect and remember the life of someone special.

This event is free to attend, donations are welcome. Please let us know if you plan on attending.
