You are invited to the annual October 15th, Pregnancy & Infant loss Day service. Each year IRIS holds a special candle light remembrance service at 7 pm. As in past years IRIS would like to invite you to take part in this tradition at home or at services in your area. IRIS will be holding a service at the Life-sized Bronze Statue that is located in front of the Office (218 Third Ave NW, Faribault, MN 55021). All are welcome, no RSVP is needed as this event will happen rain or shine.

Please bring with you:

We invite you to send a heart in memory of your child/children to be included in the IRIS service in Faribault MN. Please remember that hearts will be outside and the weather in Faribault MN in October can be difficult to plan for. It could be 80 degrees and windy or it could be 20 degrees with light snow or ice. Hearts will be effected by the weather, consider making your heart(s) waterproof. This can be as simple as covering with clear contact paper to having them made out of plastic, fabric, or wood. Hearts can be any size and made of anything you like. There are no restrictions. If you would like to see the list of all of the children currently remembered on hearts please watch for updates or visit the following FB page: https://www.facebook.com/InfantsRememberedinSilence
 
Hearts should be mailed by October 15th to:
218 3rd Ave. NW
Faribault, MN 55021
USA
 
Hearts will become apart of the IRIS collection and will not be returned. Please be sure to take picture's of your heart before mailing or make a matching one to keep. Be sure to let us know if you have any questions. Email: support@irisRemembers.com
