Interfaith service to mark Sandy Hook anniversary to be virtual

The interfaith service to mark the anniversary of the shooting at Sandy Hook School will be different on Monday due to the pandemic.  This will be the 8th anniversary of the shooting that claimed the lives of 20 children and 6 educators.  A virtual service will be live-streamed at 7pm on the Newtown Congregational Church Facebook, instead of the in-person interfaith prayer service.  Two smaller services will be held at St. Rose of Lima Church, each capped at 100 people.  They are planned for 6:45am and 9am.   The private evening Mass will include the traditional reading of the victims’ names.  Superintendent Lorrie Rodrigue says a virtual service will be offered for faculty rather than the early morning service that has traditionally taken place when the anniversary has fallen on a weekday.  Age-appropriate messages about the anniversary will be provided remotely to students in the upper grades as the district is still on remote learning.
