Pray for justice and peace on Good Friday, April 3, 2026
The Franciscan Spirituality Center's 16th annual Justice and Peace Walk will take place on Good Friday, April 3rd. It starts at 10 a.m. at St. Rose Convent, corner of Market and 9th streets, and takes place rain or shine.
People of all ages and faith backgrounds (or none) are invited to participate.
This form of the Way of the Cross is a two-mile prayer walk from the heart of the city to the Mississippi River, stopping at 10 stations along the route to sing, pray and reflect on injustices and suffering in our community and the world. The walk, which recalls the journey of Jesus as he carried his cross to Calvary, takes about two hours.
Please dress for the weather. Please also note that you'll need to walk back to the stations’ starting point or arrange for a ride back from Riverside Park. No registration is necessary. This event is free.
