The public is invited to a candlelight vigil Wednesday in downtown Shawano for victims of the Orlando, Florida, nightclub mass shooting.
The event is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church, 100 Presbyterian St., at the intersection with Main Street. The list of guest speakers was still being assembled, although organizers were inviting representatives from a diverse range of community groups.
Pastor Susan Phillips said organizers want to strengthen a sense of community togetherness in the wake of Sunday’s incident that left 50 people dead in Orlando, in the worst mass shooting in U.S. history.
“We often heal and live through our grief best when we do it together,” Phillips said.
