Christmas can be a particularly difficult time of year following the loss of a loved one. On Sunday, the Sibuns team was honoured to welcome many of the families we have assisted throughout the year, along with friends of Sibuns, to our annual Tribute in Lights.

The manor was beautifully illuminated with Christmas lights, including our remembrance tree, creating a peaceful space for reflection, remembrance, and connection.

We extend our sincere thanks to Deputy Mayor Desley Simpson who once again graciously supported this special event.

For those who were unable to attend, we invite you to drive or walk past and enjoy the lights, or stop in to write a special message in remembrance of a loved one.
May these lights serve as a symbol of comfort, love, and hope — reminding us that even in moments of loss, we are never alone.

BEAUTIFUL SPACE
Bishop Selwyn Chapel at Holy Trinity Cathedral Parnell
We recently had the privilege of facilitating a memorial service in the award-winning Bishop Selwyn Chapel, located at Holy Trinity Cathedral in Parnell. The chapel’s expansive glass walls and radiant gold ceiling created an atmosphere of serenity and elegance. This unique setting offered the perfect space for family and friends to gather and bid farewell to a loved one, surrounded by beauty and light. https://www.holy-trinity.org.nz/bishopselwynchapel

Holy Trinity Cathedral have been great supporters of Sands New Zealand, by lighting our Cathedral as part of the Sands NZ Light Up Aotearoa campaign each year, and by hosting Annual Baby Loss Remembrance services. We feel deeply the importance of supporting bereaved whānau each year in this way.

This Sunday, we will host the Sands Baby Loss Remembrance Service again and warmly welcome all for whom this time of year is especially difficult:

Date: Sunday 12 October 2025
Time: Service starts at 1:30pm
Venue: Bishop Selwyn Chapel

This service will provide an opportunity to meet with other bereaved parents and family members, honour our babies, light a candle in their memory, tie a ribbon on the Sands remembrance heart and be together.

There will be light refreshments available after the service. Children and families of all belief systems are welcome.
