Embrace FARM hosted the tenth annual Ecumenical Remembrance Service last Sunday to allow farming families to share the names and memories of those injured or lost to sudden death.
The event took place in the Most Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Abbeyleix.
Over the past ten years, the service has become a pinnacle event in the farming community.
It acknowledges the suffering of those who have survived farm accidents and provides a place for farm families to remember loved ones who have died suddenly.
The service was live streamed on www.embracefarm.com and replayed on RTÉ.
Last year, 285 people’s names were featured in the roll call.
Speaking about the impact of Embrace FARM since it was founded ten years ago, founder Norma Rohan said:
“It all started with the first Remembrance Service in 2014, and since then our services have evolved and grown so that we now provide support groups along with personalised practical and emotional supports for the farming community.
