Bishop Mark Hagemoen joined some 55 other participants on Saturday, April 1 for a 41.9-km trek that included prayer, and stops at both of the city’s cathedrals – St. Paul Co-Cathedral and the Cathedral of the Holy Family – on the eve of Holy Week 2023.

Organizers said of the run: “Meditate on the suffering of Jesus and think of the Via Dolorosa (the path Jesus took on his way to the crucifixion, often translated to “the way of suffering).” – LENTEN40 WEBSITE

The event was tackled by individuals and by relay teams of up to four people.
