After Sag Harbor Fire, Community to Join in Candlelight Vigil, Heal

SAG HARBOR, NY — Days after a fire swept through Main Street in Sag Harbor, the community will come together for a candlelight gathering aimed at healing.

Sr. Ann Thaddeus Marino, director of the Cormaria Retreat House in Sag Harbor, as well as Lisa Field, president of the Sag Harbor Chamber of Commerce, have announced a Candlelight Gathering, which will take place on Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. at the Christmas tree at Long Wharf.

"In honor of our community, Sr. Ann from Cormaria invites everyone to join as we celebrate Sag Harbor and look to the New Year with hope and appreciation as our community rebuilds," the announcement for the event said.

"I felt we just needed to come together," Sr. Ann told Patch. "After the fire, I woke up in the middle of the night and said we just have to come together and heal. This will be a time of praying, a time of grieving, a new beginning. As Hillary Clinton said, 'It takes a village.' We need to come together, as a village."
