Greater Rochester Community of Churches in collaboration with the
Episcopal Diocese of Rochester and the Beechwood Neighborhood
Association will present In Solidarity Against Violence and Social
Injustice—An Ecumenical Walk of the Stations of the Cross on Good
Friday, April 2nd.
People will congregate at 9:00 a.m. at the corner of Culver Road and
East Main Street where there is available parking. (Across from
McDonalds.)
The purpose of the walk is to “make holy” through prayer and
recognition, the places where there has been violence, and to lift up
in thankfulness those community groups bringing hope and healing
through their work. As there are 14 “stations of the cross” there will
be 14 stops along the route that will run from the corner of Culver and
East Main Street, to Webster Avenue, and back down Culver Road to
Parsells Avenue, ending at Covenant United Methodist Church. All people
are invited to participate in the walk that will be approximately 2
miles. People of all faith or no faith are welcome, including neighbors
and businesses along the route that may want to join and/or recognize
the pilgrimage as it passes by.
