On Good Friday, April 6, 2007, the city streets of San Francisco will become the Via
Dolorosa of Jerusalem, as the traditional Way of the Cross processes from Coit Tower
to the National Shrine of Saint Francis of Assisi in Historic North Beach.

No one should miss participating in this beautiful, prayerful, and public event
which also commemorates San Francisco's rich Catholic heritage.

The San Francisco Bay Area communities of Communion and Liberation [CL] will sponsor
the 8th annual Way of the Cross, scheduled to begin at 9:30 am from Coit Tower,
heading through North Beach to Washington Square, and ending at the National Shrine
of Saint Francis of Assisi at approximately 11:30 am. Along this spiritual sojourn,
we will stop for prayers, readings, and hymns at each of 4 designated Stations of
the Cross.

The Way of the Cross is a traditional Catholic prayer and procession recalling the
passion and death of Jesus Christ. Remembering all human suffering occurring each
day, we offer this humble gesture as a sign of our hope for the certain joy of
Christ's resurrection. All are invited to this beautiful and powerful event which
gives witness to Christ's love for the entire world and to the city named after one
of the most Christ like saints: Francis of Assisi.
