Plattsburgh, NY – The Foundation of CVPH will host a Candlelight Remembrance Ceremony at the Angel of Hope, Saturday, Dec. 6 at 4 p.m. on the hospital’s front lawn.

During the ceremony names of loved ones who have passed will be read aloud. To submit a name to be read on December 6, please email Events and Special Projects Manager Michelle Senecal at msenecal@cvph.org.

The Angel of Hope Candlelight ceremony is open to everyone and will be held outside, regardless of the weather. Please plan accordingly.

The angel is the centerpiece of the Circle of Healing and Hope, providing a quiet place on the main campus for patients, visitors and staff to reflect, rejuvenate and honor those they love. In bringing it to CVPH, the Foundation committed to holding the candlelight ceremony each year on December 6. It is a commitment honored by all locations across the country with an Angel of Hope. The Angel of Hope comes from the bestselling book The Christmas Box by Richard Paul Evans. It tells the story of a woman who mourns at her daughter’s gravesite which features an Angel of Hope and the solace she gets from the statue.
