The Orange County Sheriff is holding 40 days of prayer in hopes of reducing criminal violence in Orlando.

ORLANDO, FL (Catholic Online) - Dubbed Operation Transformation, about 50 churches and community groups will be gathering at two locations in town to pray for an end to the violent crime plaguing the city. 

Sheriff Jerry Demings says the vigil is a response to the shooting of 15-year-old Danielle Sampson who has been in a coma since the summer. 

The public is invited to the non-denominational prayer gatherings at both locations, Texas Avenue and Americana and Silver Star Road and Hiawassee.
