"For them life is changed, not ended . . . "
-Roman Missal

Our Christian faith teaches us that death is not an end, but rather a mysterious new beginning in life. Christ's own death and resurrection affirms this sacred truth and fills those who believe with hope. Yet we all know that losing a loved one is never easy. We mourn their death and remember them in a special way.

The sweeping views of Fisher's Island Sound that surround Enders Island provide an exquisite backdrop for many of the memorial gift opportunities described below. The ocean seems to have a calming effect on those who come here, and the grounds and gardens are filled with many quiet spots in which one can pray, reflect, and remember.

If you are looking for a special way to honor someone you have lost, please consider making a memorial gift to Saint Edmund's Retreat.

Don't forget planned giving opportunities, which are are described in the Planned Gifts section of this website. Please send us an email or give us a call at (860) 536-0565 to discuss memorial gift options. We'd love to hear from you.
