Join us to stand in solidarity with people facing execution, their victims, and all who are impacted by the unjust system of capital punishment. The vigils include time for guided prayer, petitions, Scripture reflections, and contemplative silence. Catholic bishops, ministry leaders, and allies often lend their voices.
