New Haven, Conn., March 31, 2021 – Albertus Magnus College held its Outdoor Stations of the Cross for the Suffering of the World. Participants
from the College community gathered at Rosary Hall, 700 Prospect Street in New Haven,
and walked to 14 stations on campus – each representing some suffering in our world
today such as victims of trafficking; the homeless; victims of COVID-19; the hungry;
victims of violence, inequity, and racism in our society; the plight of immigrants
and DACA students; and the devastation of the earth.
