Silent Memorial Peace Walk

Dear Ones... Please share this invitation with your community, family and friends.
Each year on Memorial Day, we walk together
in silent reflective meditation for peace...in remembrance of all
who have lost their lives to the violence of war.

Please join us for a
SILENT MEMORIAL PEACE WALK
When: Memorial Day, Monday May 25 – 11am
Where: Gather at Mission Plaza, by Holy Cross Church, in
