The following day, a prayer vigil was attended by representatives of different denominations, among them the bishops of Connor and Down and Dromore and Roman Catholic Bishop Noel Treanor.

The prayer vigil, held at Forth Spring Community Centre on Springfield Road, was organized by the Rev. Tracey McRoberts, rector of St. Matthew’s Parish, where much of the violence had been focused, and the Rev. Martin Magill, parish priest at St. John’s, Falls Road, at the suggestion of their bishops.
