🌺 On Remembrance Day, we pause at the 11th hour to honour the courage and sacrifice of all who served in times of war, conflict, and peacekeeping. It is a moment of silence that carries deep respect across generations.

At RPCV, we recognise the weight of remembrance for many families in our community. Today, and always, we hold them in our thoughts with gratitude. Lest we forget.

On Ancestor Appreciation Day, we pause to honour the lives, sacrifices, and stories of those who came before us. Their values and traditions continue to shape who we are today.

Walking through the historic grounds of Melbourne General Cemetery, you see thousands of memorials, each telling a unique story of a life lived. But what is the purpose of a memorial?
It is more than just a name and date; it's a place for the living. A physical touchstone for memories, a focal point for grief, and a legacy for future generations to connect with their family's story.
Having a dedicated place to visit, reflect, and remember can be a profound source of comfort on the journey of grief.

🕊 The International Day of Peace invites us to reflect on the importance of kindness, understanding, and unity in our daily lives. This year’s theme reminds us that peace often begins with small, simple acts of care.

At RPCV, we recognise how precious peace can be—especially for those finding comfort in remembrance. May today inspire us all to hold peace in our hearts and extend it gently to others. 🌿
