Embrace FARM, the support network for those affected by farm accidents, will host its annual ecumenical remembrance service in the Church of the Most Holy Rosary, Abbeyleix, Co Laois this Sunday, 30 June at 2pm.

Anyone who wishes to remember a person in their life affected by a farm accident – this includes recent and historic fatalities or those seriously injured – are invited to attend. The remembrance service is now in its sixth year. You are asked to bring along anyone who was a support to you during your bereavement and journey of grief, to give thanks for them and remember the life of your loved one.

On Sunday, Fr Cummins will be remembered also, who presided over the service in 2018 and died tragically earlier this year. Embrace FARM will be represented by co-founders Norma and Brian Rohan and the voluntary board of directors who give their time freely in the development of the organisation.

Embrace FARM were contacted by over 150 families to have their loved ones remembered at this year’s ecumenical service. Light refreshments will be served at the Manor Hotel, Abbeyleix following the event and all are welcome.
