Over the past 25 years, many Ascension families have volunteered to help provide emergency shelter through Housing Forward’s PADS program. Many have wondered how we can help people move from the shelters and into permanent housing. This year’s Children’s Lenten Project (CLP) is going to do just that! The details:
Begins at 8:45 a.m. at Daley Plaza. Concludes at noon. Each year we follow the passion of Christ in the heart of our city, where thousands of people carry their cross every day. Through choral music, Gospel passages, reflections, and our silent procession, we hope to enter more deeply into the events of Good Friday and their meaning for us today. We ask to experience the exceptional Presence of Christ among us as a real answer to the needs of our hearts. The total length of the walk is approximately two miles (see map below).
