Saturday December 20, 2025
Archabbey Guest House Chapel
6:00 p.m. CT
Abbey Caskets, a work of Saint Meinrad Archabbey, will host a Service of the Longest Night on Saturday, December 20, 2025, at 6 p.m. Central Time in the Saint Meinrad Archabbey Guest House Chapel in St. Meinrad, IN.
The “Longest Night” service is held around the winter solstice, the darkest time of the year, and offers a space of comfort for those who find the holiday season challenging. For many, this season can intensify feelings of grief and loss, especially when loved ones are no longer here to share in the celebrations. Bright lights and festive traditions may serve as painful reminders for those carrying heavy hearts.
Fr. Adrian Burke, OSB, will lead the service with prayer and Scripture that acknowledge those who mourn and struggle with loss during the Christmas season. The service will be recorded and shared on Abbey Caskets’ website at a later date for those unable to attend in person.
All are welcome, and light refreshments will be served following the service. Parking is available at the Guest House, and while RSVPs are appreciated for planning purposes, they’re not required. For questions or to RSVP, please contact us at info@abbeycaskets.com or call 800-987-7380.
