South Florida religious leaders will be remembering the 20 children and six adults killed in the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
On Friday, all Archdiocese of Miami schools will have a moment of prayer at 9:32 a.m. The archdiocese’s churches also will ring their bells 26 times in observance of those killed.
On Sunday, Temple Judea in Coral Gables will offer an interfaith service that will be open to everyone. Rabbi Edwin Goldberg said the idea was to offer a chance for the community to come together after what happened in Newtown.
“The point of the service is to come together and find comfort and hope,” Goldberg said.
Here are some of the observances:
• Interfaith service organized by South Florida Muslim community, 2:30 p.m. Friday, Darul Uloom Institute, 7050 Pines Blvd. in Pembroke Pines.
• Spiritual bouquet for Newtown students by the students of St. Rose of Lima in Miami Shores, prayer service at 10 a.m. Friday.
• Prayer jar by students at Good Shepherd School in Southwest Miami-Dade to be sent to Newtown students.
• Interfaith service, 4 p.m. Sunday, at Temple Judea, 5500 Granada Blvd. in Coral Gables.
