Sacred Heart service remembers Orlando 49

A very inspired church service bega unfolding at 8:30 a.m. Sunday at the Sacred Heart Church in Du Quoin.

Much of the service remembered the 49 lives that were lost last weekend during an unspeakable shooting spree in Orlando, Fla.

The service began with a procession of 49 church members--many of them children--entering the church from the area of the front doors and walking to the front of the church each carrying a candle that represented one of the lives lost in the shooting attack. Father Joseph Oganda followed.

The candles were placed along the rail and in other appropriate places around the altar.

The morning's message from Father Oganda was divided between remembering he victims and Father's Day. The service ended in complete silence with guests quietly leaving the majestic cathedral.

A little more than a week after the shooting rampage at Pulse, an Orlando nightclub, key details remain unknown about what exactly happened during the violent episode and the hostage standoff that followed.

Even as investigators try to determine what may have motivated the attack that left 49 people dead and dozens more injured, they are still working to piece together exactly what happened during the three hours between the first gunshots and the moment police fatally shot the attacker. While some elements of the siege became sharper with new details that emerged Sunday, other parts remained hazy and uncertain.

Authorities have not said yet if any of those killed or injured at the club were wounded when police officers fired at Omar Mateen, the 29-year-old gunman, something police have said was possible, or when police SWAT teams tore through the walls of the bathrooms where people were hiding. Witnesses at Pulse described seeing many of the victims fall on the floor of the main dance hall, which was riddled with glass and blood after Mateen launched his bloody rampage. Several other people appear to have been killed in one or more bathrooms, where they sought refuge.
