GREATER ORANGE COUNTY CHAPTER
PARENTS OF MURDERED CHILDREN (POMC)
For the families and friends of those
who have died by violence
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.
2024 Candlelight Vigil
This year we will commemorate our 32nd Annual Candle-Light Vigil a Name Dedication Ceremony. Each year during National Crime Victim Rights Week. We remember victims who have died in violent crimes and honor them across the country with a memorable ceremony that shows they are forever remembered.
Encouragement
"Spring is beautiful, and summer is perfect for vacations, but autumn brings a longing to get away from the unreal things of life, out into the forest at night with a campfire and the rustling leaves."
– Margaret Elizabeth Sangster
