Deacons hold 10th sunrise service praying for an end to violence
The Black Catholic Deacons of Chicago, in partnership with priests, deacons and clergy of the Archdiocese of Chicago, hosted the 10th Annual Sunrise Prayer Service for Nonviolence and Peace on Sept. 12, 2020, in the parking lot of St. Katharine Drexel Parish, 9015 S. Harper Ave. Due to COVID-19, the service moved from the lakefront to the church parking lot as a drive-in ceremony where worshipers gathered to pray for peace and the healing of families, schools and communities.
