Public Witness and Prayer Service for an End to Torture

Tuesday, June 26, 2012 - 5:30pm

This summer's JustFaith 'JustMatters' group is coordinating a public witness and prayer service for an end to torture. On Tuesday, June 26, the United Nation's International Day in Support of Victims of Torture, the JustMatters group will lead a public witness on the corner of University and Merle Hay Rd. The public witness will take place from 5:30-6pm, with a prayer service at St. Theresa Church to follow from 6-6:30pm. Feel free to bring large signs or banners, but we will maintain silence during the public witness - as a way of being in prayerful solidarity with victims of torture around the world.
