Commemorations for Lost Children in Poland

Overview

In preparation for Lost Children’s Day on October 15, religious and community organizations in Poland have organized various commemorations and support services.

The Diocese of Radom announced a series of events in Radom and Skarżysko-Kamienna, including support group meetings, workshops for couples, and religious services. Bishop Marek Solarczyk is scheduled to preside over a Mass and the consecration of a Lost Children’s Monument at the Limanowskiego Street cemetery in Radom.

In Sokołów Podlaski, a funeral ceremony will be held at the Co-cathedral of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, led by Bishop Piotr Sawczuk of Drohicyn. This service involves the interment of children who passed away before birth into a collective grave. The initiative is a collaborative effort between the Drohicyn Diocese, local health and parish services, and the ‘Unitum’ Association, which raised funds for a monument through parish collections to provide free, dignified burials for stillborn children.
