This annual vigil honors those who died while living homeless in the city of Manchester over the previous year and takes place on or around the Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year to recognize Homeless Persons’ Memorial Day. It reflects the challenges faced by those without shelter.
During the vigil, luminaries will be lit in remembrance of these individuals. Similar observances will take place in communities across the state and the nation.
The program is expected to last approximately 20 minutes.
The vigil is an opportunity for the community to come together while raising awareness for those who are without a permanent home in our city.
