Prayer walk: The Archdiocse of Chicago’s Kolbe House Jail Ministry will commemorate the beginning of Holy Week with a bilingual Palm Sunday prayer walk around Cook County Jail at 2:30 p.m. today.

Christians from various faith traditions and ages will gather for a two-mile walk to pray for the incarcerated, victims of crime, families and transformation of the criminal legal system toward justice that is healing. People are encouraged to bring their own palms and hand instruments such as tambourines, small drums and shakers.

The prayer walk will begin with reading the Gospel in English and Spanish. During the walk, attendees will reflect on Jesus’ entrance into Jerusalem and his arrest and detention as a call to unite in our commitment to defend the human dignity of the incarcerated and promote reconciliation and healing for all affected by the criminal justice system.
