Music & Art
Walk the Via Crucis (Way of the Cross) "Garden of Dreams" and reflect on the powerful images of courage from survivors of human trafficking. The images were first exhibited in the 2014 Art 4 Non-Violence International Art Show. See, once again, the beautiful art of John August Swanson at the fountain entrance. Richard Jarrett's stained-glass adds light to our Chapel. Our musicians share their gift of music through the weekend adding to the experience of reflection in Sacred Space.

Stations of the Cross
We invite you to stand in prayerful solidarity with the victims of human trafficking as you pray the Stations of the Cross. Human trafficking is a painful reality -- a modern-day slavery happening all around us, often undetected. In this Holy Year, in which the doors of mercy are open to all, let us join in the struggle to cross the thresholds from slavery into freedom. Download and read the prayer reflection, “Garden of Dreams – A Via Crucis on Human Trafficking,” as you prepare to journey with the countless victims of human trafficking.

Download a reflection on the Stations of the Cross to pray as you walk through photos and items on display at RECongress.

ENGLISH: For life and dignity, download the prayer reflection: “Garden of Dreams – A Via Crucis on Human Trafficking.” Join in prayer and merciful solidarity with the countless victims of human trafficking.
