Los Angeles Catholic Worker

Although we are constantly praying for an end to the death penalty, and clemancy for Michael Morales, it looks like there will be an execution at a minute past midnight on February 21. The Los Angeles Catholic Worker will be holding a vigil on February 20, the eve of the execution, from 4 - 6 PM on in front of the Superior Court House at Temple and Spring Streets.

Thank you to Lawrence Tripp for finding this list of other vigils in California: http://www.deathpenalty.org/index.php?pid=events
