Members and friends of All Saints Church-Community Centre take part in a walk in downtown Toronto on Good Friday, April 7, to memorialize those who have suffered and died in the opioid epidemic. Drawing on the Good Friday tradition of marking the 14 points or “stations” where Jesus stopped on his way to the cross, the walkers stopped and prayed at 14 places where members of the community have overdosed. The walk, which began and ended at the church, included stops on Gerrard, George, Victoria, Queen, Dundas and Sherbourne streets. Afterwards, there was a worship service at the church.
We need to take an active stand
