Over the past decade we have been using candle stands borrowed from DiCarlo Religious Supplies at the Shrine of Mary Help of Christians. Our Deacon, Milan Popik, cleverly designed new ones and had them made up in his shop. They are less bulky and fit perfectly into the space available. We thank him for his creative efforts. Votive candles (from vota/gift) are a sign of prayer and petition. The offerings you make ($5.00) are used for the support of the parish. Thank you.
