We had a very successful Good Friday Way of the Cross walk through downtown Denver. The Denver Maryknoll Affiliates took over the responsibility for leading this city-wide ecumenical event some 5+ years ago from the Diocese. Our Affiliate, Maureen Hand, originally led an effort to produce a stations booklet that Is very contemporary with today's justice and peace issues. We have the station readings correspond with specific municipal and private landmarks, such as, the city jail, veterans memorial, the World Bank building, and the Federal Court House (download a sample brochure).
We had over 100 participants with volunteers carrying a cross and driving a nail at each station. The experience "puts action" into the reflection for each station. Our main targets for participation are the J & P organizations and organizers throughout the county, the catholic high schools, the Just Faith groups within a parish, and the known ecumenical organizations. We had special help by way of finances and volunteers from the Capital Hill United Ministries - a group of predominately Protestant churches focused on justice and peace issues.

We conclude the Walk with drinks in the community center of a downtown church.
