Starting at sundown on Saturday, Holy Innocents' Episcopal Church in Sandy Springs will recognize the hundreds of children killed in Georgia last year by violence or abuse. Throughout the night, volunteers will read the names or initials of 550 victims, with the vigil ending at 7 a.m. on Sunday.

A Requiem Mass starts at 4 p.m. on Sunday at the church at 805 Mt.Vernon Highway, N.W. Donations will go to The Drake House, a residential assessment center for north Fulton's homeless women and children. Information: www.holyinnocents.org.
