AnonymousGood Friday Walk for Justice
We invite you to join members of the Houston peace and justice community walk the Stations of the Cross through downtown Houston to commemorate the passion and death of Jesus. The suffering and death of Jesus is clearly seen today in the suffering and death of the innocent, those condemned unjustly, those who side with the poor, those who struggle for justice, those who are victims of war, those who die unnecessarily and violently.
