We have been using the St. Killians shrine candles at Galway Cathedral for the past five years. We are delighted with the system. Our parishioners, worshipers and visitors love the candles. Our staff find the system easy to manage, clean and safe. Overall the St. Killians candles have greatly enhanced our building, reduced candle smoke and increased our candle revenue.

The service and care provided by the company is excellent. At times of the year when we require additional candle stands they are always made available for which we are very grateful.

I have no hesitation in recommending the St. Killians system and I look forward to working with the company in the future.

With every good wish,

Your sincerely,
Canon Peter Rabbitte PP, VF

It was a blessed day that you came to visit Newry Parish. You convinced me on your first visit to change from the candelabra that consisted of electric bulbs to your candle system. Once I realised that there would be no smoke damage to the fabric of our beautiful Newry Cathedral, I had no hesitation. On your second visit the deal was sealed.

The people of Newry Cathedral Parish and the surrounding area are so pleased with the introduction of candles once more into our Cathedral. The numbers lighting candles has doubled since we introduced the new system.

St. Killian’s system is excellent, as their backup service and maintenance. We appreciate the friendship of the staff and their interest in us as a faith community. I have no hesitation in recommending this system for any Church.

Yours sincerely,
Very Rev. Canon Francis Brown
Administrator

Dear St. Killians Candles:

Over the past few years, we made the decision to transition from a previous candle system to that of St. Killians. We have never been happier with the decision.

Each year we have over 5 million visitors and it is a great tradition “to light a candle at St. Patrick’s” when people visit. We needed peace of mind that we are using a safe and clean method for lighting those candles. Damage from candle smoke is virtually a thing of the past since our transferring solely to the St. Killians system.

This system has contributed greatly towards our church revenues and has performed beyond our expectations since day one.

St. Killians system is excellent, as is their backup service and maintenance. Our relationship with this company is exceptional and we wish them continued success. We highly recommend them to any place of worship.

Sincerely,
Reverand Robert T. Ritchie Rector

Since their introduction in November 2014 the candle shrines have been received very well by parishioners and visitors alike. The lit candles in the shrines throughout the Cathedral add greatly to the prayerful atmosphere as visitors enter. Each year we have over 50,000 visitors from all over the world.

As Cobh was a major port and port and point of departure for many Irish people in the past, it means a lot to visitors to light a candle in memory of deceased family members who emigrated from Cobh, having gone to Mass for the last time in Ireland in this church before departure to an uncertain future. For many of them they would never return. The ritual of lighting a candle takes on a special poignancy for this reason.

I am very pleased with the professionalism and courtesy of your staff at all times, therefore, I have no hesitation in recommending St. Killians Candles.

I wish to add that the revenue from the candles helps greatly in maintenance and upkeep of the Cathedral.

With every good wish,
Kind Regards,
Fr. John McCarthy, Administrator

The Parish of Monaghan and Rackwallace started using the St. Killian’s Candle Burning system in June 2015. We installed systems in all our parish churches – St. Macartan’s Cathedral, St. Joseph’s Church and St. Michael’s Church, Ardaghey.

We are extremely happy with the system and the maintenance care we receive from the St. Killian team. I have no hesitation in recommending them to any place of worship.

Sincerely,
Patrick McGinn, Rev. Adm.

St. Paul’s Chapel started using the St. Killians Candle Burning System in June 2014. With over a million visitors annually, we found the soot and glass breakage made it difficult to maintain our traditional votive candle system. Using St. Killians resolved these problems completely, it has been remarkably efficient, functional and labor saving.

With the addition of a site-specific custom case, for aesthetic considerations, this installation adds significantly to the St. Paul’s experience. The St. Killians representatives have been wonderful to work with – responsive, attentive and thorough. We recommend them without hesitation.

With Regards,
The Rev. Daniel Simons
Director of liturgy, Hospitality and Pilgrimage

I first saw the St. Killian’s votive candle system on a visit to New York and St. Patrick’s Cathedral two years ago. I liked the look of them and I took a few pictures to bring home. After further investigation I became convinced that the St. Killian’s votive candle stands would be much easier to maintain, would reduce the amount of daily work, changing and replacing votive candles, and would allow us to have more candles each day for the devotional use of our visitors. Because our Cathedral has over 250,000 visitors per year, I thought the St. Killian’s system was the right fit for us.
In the first year of their installment, I have been very pleased with the votive candles. We have found that they are much easier to service and maintain, and easier for visitors and parishioners to use.
We have also been very pleased with the additional revenue which the votive candle stands generate. But still, it is the beauty of them that makes me happiest. We have a very beautiful Cathedral, and they have been a nice addition.
I would recommend the St. Killian’s votive candle stands to any Church which is considering adding or changing their votive candle stands.

Sincerely,
Rev. J. Gerard Schreck, JCD
Rector

Just wanted to write a few words of appreciation for installing your new candelabra votive stands in our Cathedral last year. I think the overwhelming response would be about the appearance of the candelabras in the Cathedral – a huge improvement on what had been in position for many, many years! I think we also see your system as a safer and more secure option for our Cathedral. The maintenance is so much more easier for us than the previous system but I think the appearance, the look, is what makes your votive candelabras a winner for our Cathedral. Should also like to add that the personal touch and your follow-up service has been a big plus for us. In short, St. Killian’s Candle Company has added to the beauty and good appearance of our Cathedral and has helped the devotional life of our people.

Yours Sincerely,
Monsignor Thomas Canon Millar, V.G.

Thank you for coming to visit us in Glasgow recently. It was a pleasure finally to meet you after some two and half years of doing business with you.

As you know we started using your candle system not long after our major refurbishment, at a time when it was important for us to find a way os using votive candles that was both safe and clean. We are now confident that with St. Killians we have a burning system that meets our requirements: our new paintwork is unmarked, fire risk is virtually eliminated, maintenance is much reduced and waste is easily managed. You have been very helpful in providing advice and backup during this period and your visit last week confirmed our confidence in your ongoing support.
I can wholeheartedly recommend St. Killians and look forward to continuing our good relationship.

Yours Sincerely,
Monsignor Christopher McElroy
Administrator

For a long time we have been looking for an appropriate system for burning votive candles in Jasna Góra. The Jasna Góra Monastery installed the St. Killians system in 2016 to protect our church and to meet the expectations of pilgrims. The solution provided by St. Killians is perfect for our needs.

God Bless and Kind Regards,
Fr. Marian Waligóra OSPPE

For several months now, we have been using the St. Killians Candle Burning System in Tarnów Cathedral. The system works perfectly and is very convenient. The candle stands are very beautiful and their construction ensures safety, thus protecting our Cathedral. The candles do not smoke and thus do not damage the church walls.

Whenever we need new candles, we just need to call the company and the ordered candles are then delivered on the agreed date.

Rev. Dr Adam Nita
Parish Priest of Tarnów Cathedral Parish

We in the Adelaide Cathedral Parish are very pleased to be the first in the southern hemisphere to install the St. Killians Candle Burning System within St Francis Xavier Cathedral.

Due to safety and practicality concerns with our previous candle racks, we researched alternative solutions that provided us with peace of mind and a reduction in maintenance. Our research led us to St Killians. The St Killians website provided us with detailed videos and descriptions so we were sure it was the right option prior to purchase.

In November 2016 our three candelabras arrived with a pallet of candles – they now form a centrepiece in our Cathedral. Our total experience with the St Killians company has been easy and enjoyable, with their exemplary pre and post-sale support. We have also had a very positive reaction from our parishioners, who have been happy with the improvement.

Kind Regards,
Most Rev Philip Wilson,
DD JCL Archbishop of Adelaide
