Please join us in prayer for murder victim Marchello Woodard, on Wednesday, July 30, 5:15 p.m., on the corner of East 27th and German Streets, the site where Marchello was murdered on July 2, 2025. Take Back the Site Vigils reclaim the place where violence has occurred. We pray for all people who are harmed by violence: victims, perpetrators, bystanders, friends, families. We believe that a nonviolent way of life is possible. The 15-minute vigils are sponsored by: the Benedictine Sisters of Erie and Oblates, the Sisters of St. Joseph, Agrégées, and Associates, and the Sisters of Mercy and Associates. Join event on the Benedictines for Peace Facebook page.
