St. Benedict Parish invites community to remember George Floyd

Members of St. Benedict Parish’s Pathways Toward Peace ministry led an outdoor ecumenical prayer service marking the one-year anniversary of George Floyd’s death on May 25, 2021 outside of the church. Parishioners from St. Benedict’s and Christians from Pilgrim Lutheran Church, Jesus People and Sixth Grace Presbyterian Church participated in the event which concluded with people standing on corners near the church in solidarity for racial justice.
