More than $330,000 has been raised to cover funeral costs and other expenses for families of the six men killed in a mass shooting in a Quebec City mosque Sunday night.

Charities Canada Zakat and DawaNet helped raise more than $220,000 with a GoFundMe page.

Another $110,000 has been raised through an online a fundraiser endorsed by Islamic Relief Canada.
 

The money comes as Quebecers of different faiths gathered in a Catholic church Tuesday evening across the street from the mosque for a special mass held by Quebec's Archbishop Gérald Cyprien Lacroix.

The emotional service, at Notre-Dame-de-Foy, was a sign of solidarity with Muslims, who united in prayer.

The men killed in the terrorist attack were husbands and fathers; a businessman, a computer programmer, a pharmacist’s aide and a university professor.

They are:

Azzedine Soufiane, 57, was the owner of the Assalam butcher's shop, very near the site of the mosque. Originally from Morocco, he had lived in Canada some 30 years. He had three children.

"Last visit he was playing with his little daughter When I heard he has passed I though... I cannot forget that special moment for him and his daughter," said his friend Salah Abdullah.

Soufiane has been described as a hero who tackled the gunman as he rained bullets on members of the mosque. He was too late, however, and was shot as he tried to stop the perpetrator.
