The Way of the Cross for Justice, a Good Friday observance sponsored by a broad spectrum of faith-based groups, will begin at noon April 14 on Fountain Square with reflections on social issues, prayerfully connecting the suffering of Jesus with that brought about by injustice today.

Participants will then process to the Freedom Center for further reflection and a closing bread service from 1:30 to 2 p.m.

This prayerful gathering will reflect on the death penalty, economic justice, care for creation, racism, and immigration, with special prayers for Maribel Trujillo and her family.
