Abbey Caskets, a work of Saint Meinrad Archabbey, will host a Service of the Longest Night on Saturday, December 19, 2026, at 6 p.m. Central time in the Saint Meinrad Archabbey Guest House and Retreat Center Chapel in St. Meinrad, IN.
For those who are grieving the loss of a loved one, the darkness of this season can feel particularly heavy. The holidays can increase feelings of sadness when loved ones are especially missed. During this difficult season, Saint Meinrad reaches out to those who are grieving through the Service of the Longest Night.
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.
Everyone is welcome. Light refreshments will follow. An RSVP is appreciated for planning purposes but is not required. Reply to info@abbeycaskets.com or call 800-987-7380 for further information.
Parking is available in the Guest House parking lot.
