A candlelight vigil named “Pray for Vegas” is planned to take place Wednesday and offer support to those who have been affected by the Las Vegas shooting that occurred last week. #SCV4VEGAS

The event is set to take place at 7 p.m. at Marketplace Park, located on the corner of Newhall Ranch Road and Grandview Drive near Real Life Church.

“People are important, and it’s important to honor them as human beings and the contribution that they are to their families and the world,” said Alex Urbina, a life coach who has been working with a number of Las Vegas shooting victims in Santa Clarita.

Urbina continued, “In such a tragedy like this, having a candlelight vigil is also an opportunity for all of us to spend one moment in time where we support those families, but also for all of us to just come together as a community and just connect and experience the love that we have for each other and humanity.”

This event is a community collaboration spearheaded by Real Life Church, The Santa Clarita Coalition, KHTS Radio, The City of Santa Clarita and many other local organizations.

“The Santa Clarita Coalition and KHTS, like everyone else, has been deeply impacted by the event in Las Vegas last Sunday,” said KHTS Co-Owner and Santa Clarita Coalition Co-Founder Carl Goldman. “Hearing stories from many victims has touched us dramatically.”

At least 12 Santa Clarita residents were wounded during the Las Vegas shooting, while one Santa Clarita man, John Phippen, and one Palmdale resident, Jenny Parks, were killed.

The vigil comes on the heels of a discussion hosted by Child & Family Center, The Santa Clarita Coalition and Life Coach Alex Urbina earlier this week called “Santa Clarita Grieves.”

Therapeutic counselors lead the discussion to help guide attendees on how to make sense of what happened and start moving forward with their lives in a powerful way.
