On Wednesday, Oct. 14, the Crisis Center of Comal County held its annual domestic violence candlelight vigil and ceremony in Landa Park, honoring survivors and those who have lost their lives due to domestic violence.

The ceremony featured remarks from CCCC CEO Janis Parsley, CCCC Chief Advancement Officer Nicholle Kepczyk and New Braunfels Police Chief Osbaldo Flores, a CCCC survivor's story read by Shelter Director Justis Strahan and a candlelight vigil with a moment of silence as names of individuals that died as a result of domestic violence in the past year were read aloud.

"A vigil asks something simple of us," Flores said.
