Our 2023 Memorial Tree Lighting was jointly hosted by Kennebecasis Community, Castle Fallsview & Brenan's Funeral Homes on Tuesday, December 5 at the Dennis R. Knibb Auditorium at Saint John High School in uptown Saint John.

The Service

Each year at this time, our thoughts turn to those who are dealing with a loss as the holidays approach. For many years it has been our tradition to host a special service of remembrance where they can gather for a time of mutual support and reflection on the comforting memories the season can inspire.

The evening is a combination of music, reflections and special seasonal messages focused on those who grieve.

Our service concludes with the illumination of our special Christmas Tree as a beautiful, seasonal memorial to those we’ve lost.


The Music 

Once again this year we were very fortunate to have the wonderful young voices of the Saint John High School Choir, under the direction of Patricia Gallagher. 

The Honour Roll

We pay tribute to all of those we have been privileged to serve by adding their names to our Honour Roll which is presented during the service.
