In an effort to shine a light to those impacted by mental illness, a group met Wednesday, Oct. 4, at the flagpole in the middle of Evans City for a Candlelight Prayer Walk of Hope.

The prayer walk began at the flagpole and made a few stops between there and the parking lot of Ritzert Hall.

At each stop, there was a prayer and song.
