Christmas tree honors the victims
A tree decorated with angels printed on paper was the brainchild of St. Michael Church parishioner Fran Tracz of Derby. It is standing next to the altar. She said she wanted to do something to show support for "all the little ones."
Below are examples of two of the paper angels, one for a child and one for a teacher. The love that was put into decorating this tree is clear to see.
A group of parishioners rang hand bells Friday at 9:30 a.m. on the church steps as part of the statewide observance in memory of the victims at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
I posted this video yesterday of the dedicated group braving a downpour and ringing the bells. See additional coverage at nhregister.com and in today's New Haven Register.
