VIGILS FOR HEALING
-
The vigils are public interfaith spiritual observances held year round at or near the murder site.
-
We tap into the diverse spiritual life of our community to promote peace and encourage the process of healing.
-
Vigils last about 30 minutes and can include prayer, candle lighting, ringing of a bell to remember past murder victims, presentation of a prayer shawl, music and light refreshments
-
Anyone who wishes to speak during a vigil may do so.

We are open to all, and we welcome your suggestions and involvement.
