As Catholics, we light votive candles before a statue or sacred image of our Lord or a saint. The light signifies our prayer, which is offered in faith, entering the light of God. It also shows reverence and our desire to remain present in prayer even as we continue on our day. Our Day Chapel (located directly behind the main altar) offers the opportunity to light votive candles and offer our prayers through the intercession of Our Lady of Fatima and St. Joseph.
