The Journey Toward Justice was a program presented October 11th, 2013, created and organized by Fellowship Of Peace. major sponsors were Gonzaga University and S&JA campaign to repeal the death penalty in WA State. The event began with Fr, Frank Case (Gonzaga V.P. of Mission) welcoming the public, then introducing Bishop Blase Cupich, who was to offer the invocation over the evening. Next was the performance of the one act version of the play Dead Man Walking, with a cast of local students from Gonzaga Univ., Whitworth Univ., EWU, WSU) and Rogers High, along with several community members.
Following the play Sr.Helen Prejean addressed the audience on the subject of abolition.
Over 400 people crowded into the Globe Room at Gonzaga campus, a couple of hundred postcards were filled out to notify law makers their constituents want repeal. Folks crowded into lines to get books signed by Sr. Helen afterwards. (Prior to the program, Sr. Helen met with the cast who were very moved by here presence and the experience they received by participating in the play. Sr. Helen was asked to pose for a group photo and signed their posters as she chatted with each cast member. )
It was a success and a blessing toward repeal!
Thank you Sr. Helen for your tireless work and deeply compassionate heart for those on the Rows. May your strength and example be energized and continue to flow so we will all learn it's past time to end this Death Penalty. With sincerity and hope ~ Fellowship Of Peace, and the Spokane community.
