Lewiston, Maine — Residents of Lewiston return to work and school Monday, the morning after coming together to mourn those lost in Maine's worst mass shooting. They gathered Sunday evening, hugging one another, singing a rousing edition of 'Amazing Grace' and seeking guidance out of these dark days from religious leaders who talked of hope, healing and the power of prayer.

' Earlier Sunday, several church services were shaped by the shooting and subsequent days-long lockdown. At the morning mass at Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul, several women wore black veils. A church official said they are raising funds to help those hurt by 'the horrible events in our small town.' 'We can see the rays of light in darkness,' said the Rev. Daniel Greenleaf, adding it is for times like this that people have 'practiced' their faith.
