A Note About Centennial Lanterns:

  • When dedicating a centennial lantern, please note that you'll need to check out seperately from your ticket registration. If you wish to dedicate a lantern and attend the event, you must do so in two separate transactions.

  • When checking out, you will be prompted to enter custom text. A card with the text provided will be printed and placed inside a solar-powered lantern, honoring your personal connection to Vincentian. The lanterns will be lit during Vincentian's year-round centennial celebration.

  • Please note that if you wish to dedicate more than one lantern (thank you!), you must do so in separate transactions.
