Our Pride Vigil
Liverpool Parish Church, Liverpool Waterfront
Saturday 26th July 6:00–6:45PM
“Remember with Us” is a vigil rooted in dignity, memory, and solidarity. Held as part of Liverpool’s Pride, it offers a calm and reflective space to:
- Remember LGBTQ+ individuals who are no longer with us – including those lost to violence, illness, social isolation and the long-term impacts of discrimination and exclusion.
- Stand in solidarity with LGBTQ+ communities everywhere, especially those who continue to face marginalisation, criminalisation, or erasure.
- Reflect and reconnect with the deeper purpose of Pride – as a space for celebration, protest, healing, and renewal.
- Remember those loved and lost to HIV/AIDS related illnesses
This event is brought to our community through a partnership between Open Table Network, Liverpool Parish Church, and Sahir.
