Simcoe County KAIROS will hold its fourth annual Good Friday Walk for Justice in downtown Barrie on March 30th. Similar walks are held in Toronto and other urban centres. Assembling at Barrie City Hall at 1:00 pm, the walk is intended to demonstrate support for the marginalized people of our community by walking to several “stations” in the downtown core where a brief reflection and prayer is offered. The “stations” include the Spirit Catcher, the Barrie Police Station at the bus terminal, the Elizabeth Fry Society, the Barrie Public library, the Busby Centre and St. Andrew’s Church Out of the Cold program.
Based on the ancient tradition of walking the “stations of the cross” or the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem, participants describe the experience as “powerful” and “meaningful.” The walk will end where it began, Barrie City Hall, where soup and bread will be shared. The entire walk takes about 1½ hours.
You are invited to be part of this prayerful walk through downtown Barrie on Good Friday afternoon starting at Barrie City Hall at 1:00 pm.
Sponsored by Simcoe County Kairos, affiliated with Kairos Canada: Canadian Ecumenical Justice Initiatives.
