Students gather at the Colonnade on WKU’s campus to participate in the Life Week Prayer Vigil. Mary Reding of the St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Campus Center said she was happy with the number of students that turned out for the event. “It takes a lot to get students to come to an event. It is like pulling teeth. But this event was different. People showed up out of the woodwork. It’s a really special event,” she said.
