St John of God Murdoch Hospital acknowledges that the festive season can be difficult for those who have lost loved ones, and so in the spirit of unity and compassion, Light up the Lake with Love offers a safe and inclusive space to reflect, share cherished memories, and find solace during the holiday season.
Join us in the marquee by the lake for a touching remembrance service, including live music by string quartet Aquila, and the symbolic lighting of the lake and trees — a beautiful tribute and display of love and remembrance that will shine throughout the Christmas season. Share memories, write your loved one's name on our ‘memory tree,’ and unite in a warm, inclusive atmosphere.
Commemorate the evening with a special Christmas keepsake
We are offering an optional purchase of a special Christmas keepsake - a memorial candle that beautifully symbolises the cherished memory of your loved one that we celebrate at our event.
Each purchase will bring love and light to others in their time of need, with a portion of the proceeds going towards supporting families in end of life care at our hospital. Purchase your special keepsake here.
You will be able to collect your memorial candle at the event and take it home with you to remember the love and light shared during our heartfelt gathering.
We look forward to sharing the evening with you.
What to expect:
- Remembrance service: A touching ceremony to honour the memories we hold dear.
- Symbolic lighting: Illuminate the lake and surrounding trees in a powerful display of love and remembrance.
- Live music by Aquila: Enjoy the soothing melodies of a string quartet, enhancing the atmosphere with grace.
- Memory tree: Personalise the experience by writing your loved one’s name on a leaf and adding it to our ‘memory tree.’
- Memorial candle (optional, purchased via the link above): Collect yours on the night and let it shine in honour of your cherished memories.
