Portland Residents Invited to Gather
in Annual Public Prayer March 30
St. Charles Catholic Church welcomes Portland res-
idents to gather in an annual public prayer to recall
the pain and suffering of Jesus in connection with the
pain and suffering of the many living in Portland to-
day.
The walk will begin with at Ainsworth United
Church of Christ with an opening service led by
Rev. Cecil Prescod. Participants will then walk to St.
Charles Borromeo Catholic Church, making 14 stops

walk to a social injustice that our communities face
today. Gun violence, police accountability, sexual
assault, racism, housing, immigration and HIV are
some of the issues that will be addressed. Most sta-
tions will approach the issue through a personal sto-
ry of someone from the community.
All Portland residents are invited, and people with
children are especially encouraged to attend.
There will be a collection taken, proceeds of which
will be donated to Don’t Shoot PDX.
