Experience Support and Foster Healing Through Community & Connection
We invite the Samaritans’ community to convene at Arlington Street Church (ASC) in Boston for our Annual Memorial on Sunday, January 22, 2023 from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm. ASC is a new location for this event, yet it is where Samaritans, Inc. started in 1974.
This gathering of suicide loss survivors, their families and friends, committed volunteers, generous supporters, community leaders, dedicated board members, and devoted professional staff offers a poignant opportunity for personal reflection and collective expressions of remembrance. Through silent observances, read poems, reflective remarks, recited musical performances, and shared letters, memorial participants will bolster a sense of support and healing through community and connection.
After the formal program, attendees are invited to gather in a sanctuary adjacent room to share refreshments and enjoy one another’s company.
