GREATER ORANGE COUNTY CHAPTER
PARENTS OF MURDERED CHILDREN (POMC)
For the families and friends of those
who have died by violence
CandleLight Vigil
Our Candlelight Vigil is a solemn but important occasion. Dedication ceremonies for monuments are both a moment of remembrance and reflection. Each new name added represents a life taken and while it's commendable to honor and remember those individuals, it's also a reminder of the ongoing need for awareness and action. GOCPOMC's dedication to commemorating our loved ones speaks to our commitment to preserving their memory and ensuring that they are never forgotten.
Monthly Meetings
Every 2nd Wednesday at 6:30 PM
We are a volunteer-run group made up of families and friends who have lost someone we love due to violence. There is no judging here. And if you don't feel like talking, that's alright - we'll be here for you when you're ready. Just being with others who understand your pain and grief is a comfort and you are not alone.
