One Lewiston Community Vigil
On Sunday, October 29th, the City of Lewiston will begin its healing with the One Lewiston Vigil and Remembrance Ceremony.
Coordinated by the City of Lewiston, LA Metro Chamber, and the interfaith community, this vigil invites community members to grieve together, and to pay respects to those impacted and for our communities.
The program will last approximately an hour, with a reception directly following inside and outside the church. There will be prayers from multiple faith leaders and music.
Out of respect for the community, there will be limited space inside the Basilica for members of the media. When we confirm plans, we be able to provide a live feed. There will be no media interviews inside the church at any time. Press inquiries can be directed to AAmores@lewistonmaine.gov
There will be therapeutic support provided directly following the vigil in the lower level of the church. Therapy dogs will be in attendance for those who wish.
Lisbon Imam will be a speaker at this evenings vigil; we welcome all Muslim brothers and sisters to attend.
There will be accommodations for overflow seating outside, and live stream will be available at the following links. We anticipate additional live streams will become available, and this event page will be updated regularly.
