The Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul in Lewiston holds a candlelit vigil to mourn the victims of the recent mass shootings. Locals gather to support the grieving families and express gratitude to the first responders. The community, feeling like one big family, comes together to start the healing process after days of fear and lockdown. Personal connections to the victims make the tragedy hit close to home for many attendees.
"We can collectively mourn, grieve, and celebrate the memories of the victims, stand in solidarity with their grieving families, and express our deep gratitude to the brave first responders who rushed to their aid" said the announcement from the city of Lewiston.The first vigil was held Saturday evening at the Worumbo Waterfall in Lisbon, where candles were glowing under a moonlit sky as several hundred grieved together.
It's a family that came together for a candlelit vigil to start the long healing process -- some leaving their homes for the first time in days."It’s been just a horrific last two-three days for everybody,” another woman said. “Terrifying. Been locked in our homes and not been able to get out and visit with family and be with them. It’s just been very scary.”
