Little Village parishes march for peace

Parishioners from parishes in Little Village gathered for Mass at St. Agnes of Bohemia Church, 2643 S. Central Park Ave., and a March for Peace on Nov. 4, 2023 in remembrance of Day of the Dead traditionally celebrated on All Souls' Day. The procession made several stops along the route, which gave participants a chance to reflect and offer prayers for end to violence both globally and locally. (Karen Callaway/Chicago Catholic)
