All Are Welcome & Invited…
Each year, the DePaul community comes together for the Gathering of Remembrance, an interfaith service to honor the loved ones of DePaul faculty, staff, and students who have passed away this year. The ceremony includes the reading of names of those who have been lost and prayers from multiple faith traditions, creating a space for reflection, healing, and unity.
We invite you to submit the names of loved ones who have passed away within the last 12 months. Due to time limitations, we kindly ask that you submit no more than three names. This ensures that we can honor everyone during the ceremony and allows us to maintain the reflective and peaceful tone of the event.
