Memorial Sunday
This is the time to remember those whom we love but who have left us behind, a time to feel ourselves in the stream of life. Guided by Richard L. Kiniry, Leader of the Ethical Society of Philadelphia, we will remember and honor our members who have died in the past year and others who have played a significant part in our lives. Members are invited to come and share their stories and memories.
