Interfaith Leaders Present Mourning Into Unity Vigils

Mourning Into Unity Vigils to be held across the United States by Interfaith leaders on Monday, October 12, and 19 at 6:00 p.m.

“The pandemic has laid bare cruel fissures in our society. So much loss is being endured: loss of life, loss of jobs, loss of health insurance, loss of safe schools. When we grieve as one, we reject efforts to use the ravages of this disease and its cruel and disproportionate impacts on the most vulnerable to divide us,” according to Reimagine, the national organizer.

In Chicago, Saint Agatha Catholic Church will hold the peaceful candlelight vigils in person¹ or online using Zoom², at 6:00 p.m. CDT. The evening vigil will also be live-streamed on Facebook.

Join Father Larry Dowling as he leads the vigil prayer for all America has suffered since the COVID-19 pandemic changed America’s landscape.
