July 30 we held a Stations of the Cross Procession praying for the end of human trafficking.
The Procsssion began at Sacred Heart Cathedral.
We stopped 14 times to pray and witness.
In preparation for the Procession, we heard a presentation from members of Angels of Mercy, who work to educate about human trafficking, and to help the vulnerable - especially girls and women - to avoid getting caught up in trafficking, or to escape it.
More than 200,000 runaways each year are sex trafficked. New York state is one of the leading destinations in the U.S. for trafficking.
Pax et bonum
