The theme for the next to last station was “hunger in our world.” David Mulcahy, center, a student at Marist School, Atlanta, holds an image of the late Archbishop Oscar Romero, while Max Navarro of Our Lady of Lourdes Church, Atlanta, holds a wooden cross and Alejandro Henao of the St. Benedict Church Hispanic Mission, Duluth, holds an image of Jesus.

People of various faiths participate in the 25th annual Good Friday pilgrimage known as the Urban Stations of the Cross. They walked to 14 sites in the inner city of Atlanta, where they reflected upon contemporary social issues such as HIV/AIDS, homelessness, immigration and fair wages. The service is sponsored annually by Catholic Social Services, Inc. and the Catholic Campaign for Human Development.
