More than 100 students gathered at a candlelight vigil at the Bell Tower Monday night to pray for victims of the Boston bombing. The vigil began with a prayer and song followed by a moment of silence for the victims while participants lit candles. After several more prayers and songs, the gathering ended with the Bell Tower playing Amazing Grace. The vigil was planned by senior Patrick Tomassi with the help of a few friends. After word of the vigil spread on social media, FOX12 and KGW also showed up to cover the gathering. Tomassi was surprised to see so many attendees.
"It was a very good gesture of the people in the community," he said.
