An online vigil held for thirty minutes at 8pm Central on the night before every scheduled execution in the United States.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-16 issue.

Field notes

The vigil follows a fixed seven-part order, moving from naming the person and five minutes of silence to scripture, a yearly execution litany, homily, prayers, and a closing benediction. The page’s calendar identifies scheduled people, states, and execution dates, while stating that dates update automatically from the Death Penalty Information Center. A September 15, 2026 homily, “When the Stones Hit the Ground,” is attributed to Dr. Jeff Hood.
