Good Friday pilgrimage takes place in southwest Atlanta

ATLANTA - A two mile Good Friday pilgrimage took place on Friday in southwest Atlanta.

It began at the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church and the journey ended at the Crypt of Martin Luther King Junior with a closing prayer.

Fourteen stops were made along the route for reflection on those who suffer injustice and relegation in our city. 

The Archdiocese of Atlanta's Office of Justice & Peace Ministries hopes participants will make the decision to do something about those they met along the journey. 

"This year's pilgrimage will be both informative and challenging," The Archdiocese of Atlanta said. "With a call to action that asks us to really live our faith." 

This was the 36th annual Ecumenical Good Friday Pilgrimage.
