The vigil will include religious readings and music by Michael Pauling. The public is invited to bring candles, and children will have a chance to make letters or pictures in support of the missing girls.
Petitions in support of the "Cousins Law" will also be available to sign. The Cousins Law is a proposed state law that would make it easier to issue alerts when a child is reported missing.
