Please join YWCA St. Paul as we host a ‘virtual’ candlelight vigil featuring inspiring words and music to bring our community together as part of the healing process following the death of George Floyd.
With the grief, anger and despair suffusing our community, YWCA St. Paul is pleased to offer this opportunity for our community to come together safely through a virtual gathering.
This is a community-wide gathering with our partners from YWCA Minneapolis hosting a simultaneous vigil across the river.
