What size candles are best for Catholic church use?
For Catholic church use, taller taper candles (14-18 inches) are commonly used on the altar, while vigil candles in glass holders work well for prayer intentions. Larger pillar candles are often used for special services and processions.

How do I properly care for beeswax candles in a Catholic church?
To care for beeswax candles in a Catholic church, trim wicks to 1/4 inch before each use, keep them away from drafts near the altar and tabernacle, extinguish with a candle snuffer rather than blowing them out, and store them in a cool, dry place when not in use.
