Remembrance day for road traffic victims
We in the PARC road safety group ask the representatives of all faiths to include as appropriate some note of prayer or remembrance in their liturgies and gatherings for all those who have died and were injured on our roads and for all those who grieve the loss of their loved ones.
A special ceremony of remembrance takes place in Knock Shrine at noon that day. Those killed and injured in each of the 32 counties will be remembered in a special way. Given that more than 3,000 people are killed and more than 100,000 are injured on roads worldwide every day, it is imperative that governments and all of us as individuals play our part in reducing these figures. The price in terms of human loss, grief and care is immense.
