8月8日千人參加香港天主教正義和平委員會、香港天主教大專聯會等晚上發起「燭照黑暗 看見真相」燭光遊行暨祈禱會，由聖母無原罪主教座堂正門前空地，遊行到終審法院門外空地，要求政府回應民間訴求，撤回《逃犯條例》，成立獨立調查委員會以及重啟政改。人群佔滿終審法院外空地及半個皇后廣場。
天主教香港教區輔理主教夏志誠為官員祈禱，認為反修例風波帶來的影響，香港社會陷於膠着，政府對市民的訴求置若罔聞，運動期間釀成的多宗暴力衝突，特首林鄭月娥等官員責無旁貸。
On 8 August, About 1,000 people participated in the “Candlelight in Darkness to See the Truth” parade and prayer meeting, organised by Hong Kong Catholic Justice and Peace Commission, the Hong Kong Catholic Association, and others, marching from the front of the Immaculate Conception Cathedral, to the Court of Final Appeal.
They ask the government to respond to the demands of the people, withdraw fugitive offenders amendments, set up an independent commission of inquiry and restart political reform. The crowd flooded the space outside the Court of Final Appeal and half of Statue Square.
Bishop Joseph Ha Chi-shing of the Catholic Diocese of Hong Kong, prayed for officials. He said that Chief Executive Carrie Lam and other officials are responsible for the many violent clashes caused by the anti-extradition turmoil, Hong Kong society was tanking, the public’s demands were ignored by the government’s appeal to the public was ignored.
