Memorial Wall
Honoring Our Lost Angels and Keepers of the Flame
We lovingly remember those who gave so much of themselves in service to Spirit: teaching, healing, leading, stepping in for others, and keeping the Center alive. Many volunteered year after year, guiding students and supporting the work with open hearts and willing hands.
Their devotion kept the light of the National Spiritual Science Center (NSSC) burning bright, and their legacy continues to inspire all who follow in their footsteps.
