Service of Remembrance at Grace Cathedral

Service of Remembrance

This dramatic annual service of remembrance honors those who died in conflict and the hope of peace. Reflecting our Anglican heritage, this service also expresses the international and interreligious bonds we share in war and peace.

Guest preacher Luc Ferrier, author of The Unknown Fallen, gives voice to the lesser-known Muslim battalions who served among the Allies in World War I. Thousands of poppy petals cascade onto the high altar as bagpipes play Amazing Grace. The service includes the Cathedral Camerata choir and military band.
