Each year, a local domestic violence support group hosts an event to honor those who have lost their lives to domestic violence and the survivors.
Ashlyn Burrus with DOVE in DeWitt County indicates that their annual Candlelight Ceremony will take place this Thursday at 6:30 PM at the First Church of the Nazarene in Clinton. She says the event means a lot to victims and their families, and adds that anyone is welcome to attend.
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and Burrus indicates that events like the Candlelight Ceremony open the floor for important conversations surrounding the topic. She notes that the month is about breaking the silence.
Attend the Candlelight Ceremony at the First Church of the Nazarene in Clinton this Thursday at 6:30 PM. Learn more about the services offered by DOVE in DeWitt County by visiting doveinc.org or by finding them on Facebook.
