Votive Lights

Votive lights — also known as prayer candles — are a way for the faithful to remember a loved one or pray for a special intention. The prayer candles will shine in the Basilica day and night as a sign of the impassioned prayer of those who light them. You may light a prayer candle for a day, a week, a month, or even six months or a year. For semi-annual or annual candles, you have the option of placing an inscription on the candle.

If you wish to light a prayer candle, please scroll down to see suggested donation amounts and the form, or view our brochure here. We ask for a donation for each prayer candle to help with the cost of tending and maintaining the candles. Your gift is fully tax-deductible and is a true blessing to us in our ministry.
