A Vigil of Remembrance for Victims of Domestic Violence at the Brookfield Unitarian Universalist Church on October 18, 2016 jointly officiated by our minister Rev. Craig and the minster of the Brimfield Congregational Church Pastor Dawn Adams. There were three speakers: State Senator Anne Gobi (pictured here), Hillary DaDalt, School Resource Officer and Rori Coakley, Survivor. A Ritual of Remembrance was held for the fourteen people who have lost their lives in Massachusetts so far this year due to domestic violence. We need to talk about this issue so things can change.
