Bishops from across California will release a video Friday, June 19 (Juneteenth), reenacting the Stations of the Cross to draw attention to the sin of racism and to ask God’s help in eliminating it. It’s the latest action taken by the Catholic Church, across the nation and at local dioceses, to respond to the killing of George Floyd and the ongoing protests to address systemic racism. The video includes the leaders of all 12 California (arch)dioceses and two Catholic eparchies, also available with subtitles in Spanish and Vietnamese. Many of the 14 Stations of the Cross were taped at locations with deep racial meaning. Examples include Oakland’s Fruitvale BART Station, California’s first African-American Catholic Church, and a former KKK headquarters in San Diego. Please help us share this video, “California Bishops I Stations of the Cross I Overcoming Racism”.  See Video
