Walking Together: Pilgrimage Against Racism for University Students

University students are invited to join a six mile pilgrimage praying for racial justice and reconciliation in our local community by walking together from St. Paul into Minneapolis. We will traverse Lake Street, stop for a reflection at George Floyd Square, and conclude with prayer and a meal at St. Leonard of Port-Maurice, a parish established in 1941 to serve the African American Catholics of Minneapolis.

Schedule:

10:00 AM - Begin walking

12:00 PM - Arrive at George Floyd Square (approx.)
