Holy Redeemer – Mass of Remembrance for miscarriage and infant loss

Throughout the month of October, Masses of Remembrance will be held across our archdiocese for children lost through miscarriage or in infancy. These Masses are an opportunity to entrust to the Lord our children who have gone home to his arms.

While each Mass differs slightly according to the hosting parish, you will find consistent elements. Names of children, submitted to us through our online form, will be honoured at the beginning of each Mass. Attendees will also be invited to take home a vase of flowers as a keepsake, along with prayer and scripture cards.

You are welcome to submit your child’s name regardless of whether or not you can join us for a Mass. Scroll down the page to submit using our online form, or visit the Woven diocesan page for resources and other Mass dates.

The Holy Redeemer Parish Mass will be held on October 25, 2025, at 9am, followed by a light reception. All are welcome.

About Woven

Woven is an initiative within the Archdiocese of Ottawa-Cornwall to support mothers and families grieving miscarriage and infancy loss. Our God has a great tenderness for the grieving and the broken-hearted. The shortest verse in scripture records his own moment of grief at the death of a loved one: “Jesus wept.” (John 11:35).

If you’ve lost a child, know God is with you in your heartbreak. Your child has always been known and loved by him.

If you’ve lost a child, you are invited to record their name(s) using the form below.

All recorded names will be remembered during the Mass.

You are still welcome to submit a name even if you cannot attend the Mass. It would be our honour to remember your child.
