What kind of clause is this?

I was wondering how to call the clause that follows after the verb 'to remind' and starts with 'that'. For example:

Because while nothing can fill the space of a lost child or loved one, all of us can extend a hand to those in need -- to remind them that we are there for them, that we are praying for them, that the love they felt for those they lost endures not just in their memories but also in ours.

Thanks in advance!!

  • It may be also described as a finite subordinate clause in the sentence.
  • Such a clause is marked by a subordinating conjunction that and here by the non-finite predicator, the infinitive "to remined".
