On Easters past, Dan Zamlen loved to serve during Mass at Resurrection Catholic Church.
But on Sunday, church members gathered to say prayers for Zamlen, who has been missing for more than a week. The St. Thomas freshman was walking near the Mississippi River bluffs in St. Paul when he vanished in the early morning hours of April 5.
Since then, family and friends from the Iron Range have helped search for the 19-year-old who used to carry incense at the Easter vigil and teach religion classes.
Community members gathered Friday night to pray for Zamlen's safe return and have not given up on finding him. The Rev. Charles Flynn said Zamlen's mother told him the search is "not anywhere near over."
