Denver Archbishop Samuel Aquila is asking Catholic schools and parishes of Northern Colorado to observe a moment of silence at 9:30 a.m. Friday to remember the 26 victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings in Newtown, Conn.

Connecticut Gov. Daniel Malloy has called for a nationwide moment of silence on the one-week anniversary of the school shootings and Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, among others, has joined in the call.

Aquila also is urging the parishes of Northern Colorado, which have the capability to do so, to ring their church bells 26 times to remember each of those who lost their life.
