Others reverently touched a statue of Saint Rose, the first person native to the Americas to be canonized by the Catholic Church, before crossing themselves. Read the full story.

    Sorry, but the photograph alone shows a mentally unstable individual. Guns are not the problem. Keeping the gun from a mentally irresponsible person is the problem. The mother/brother who admit the gunman had mental issues should never have allowed guns to be accessible to him.

    Sikhs attend a vigil in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, on August 7, 2012 following the killings of six worshippers at a Sikh temple.

    The Associated Press reports — Hundreds of people gathered in southeastern Wisconsin Tuesday night to remember the six Sikh worshippers who were fatally shot at their temple on Sunday.

    Attendees held candles and prayed for the victims, remembering them as peaceful individuals dedicated to their families and faith.

    Police Chief John Edwards told the crowd that such incidents often prompt anger and calls for revenge, but he says he was struck by the peaceful reaction of the Sikh community.

    Church members read bibles while participating in an early morning prayer vigil to mark the one-year anniversary of the BP oil spill on April 20 in Orange Beach, Alabama. Orange Beach on the Gulf Coast was impacted by oil in the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon rig explosion which killed eleven crew members. 206 million gallons of oil eventually spilled into the Gulf of Mexico until the BP well was finally sealed. April 20 marks the one-year anniversary of the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history.
