Luminary Night<br />

Shines Brightly<br />

by Bella Caggiano<br />

Luminary Night is a magical<br />

night in <strong>Norwood</strong>, and for residents<br />

new to this wonderful Town<br />

and unfamiliar with this inspirational<br />

event, it<br />

is an inspirational<br />

experience<br />

that must<br />

be included<br />

for the holiday<br />

calendar.<br />

The Circle of<br />

Hope Foundation’s<br />

Enchanting<br />

Luminary<br />

Night will be held on Saturday, <strong>December</strong><br />

3, 4-6 p.m., on <strong>Norwood</strong>’s<br />

Town Common. Visitors stroll<br />

through the walkways in search for<br />

their personal messages in memory<br />

of lost loved ones. Even residents<br />

who have not posted a luminary,<br />

visit the Common to express and<br />

share their sympathies and to take<br />

a moment to embrace the spirit of<br />

the season.<br />

For the past 20 years, luminaries<br />

have lit up the Town Common<br />

walkways in remembrance of lost<br />

loves. The luminary bags are engraved<br />

with an individual name,<br />

message, prayer or date as a symbol<br />

of Life, Hope, the Season or in Remembrance<br />

of others. Luminaries<br />

can be purchased the night of the<br />

event for $5.<br />

“Every candle that is lit is helping<br />

someone in <strong>Norwood</strong>,” Cofounder<br />

Lee<br />

Kennedy said.<br />

“You don’t know<br />

when you light<br />

that candle who<br />

you are helping.”<br />

The Circle of<br />

Hope foundation<br />

was established in<br />

1998 in memory<br />

of Kennedy’s daughter, Michelle<br />

Kennedy, who suffered from leukemia.<br />

Local residents united during<br />

her battle, many who did not even<br />

know her personally. The Circle of<br />

Hope established in her memory<br />

preserves that community spirit by<br />

donating fundraising proceeds to<br />

<strong>Norwood</strong> families who need assistance<br />

due to a catastrophic medical<br />

illness.<br />

For those who would like to<br />

make a donation to the Circle of<br />

Hope, call 781-762-3549, or mail<br />

a check to, The Circle of Hope<br />

Foundation, 24 Myrtle Street, <strong>Norwood</strong><br />
