Some Episcopal bishops lead a pilgrimage from L.A. to the Mexico border for immigration justice

For Episcopalians, Holy Week is under way with a pilgrimage from Los Angeles to the Mexican border to pray for the plight of immigrants.

About 50 people ”“ led by Episcopal bishops of Los Angeles and San Diego ”“ held a prayer Monday morning in Los Angeles’ MacArthur Park and then drove in a caravan down I-5 through Orange County, led by a pickup laden with a life-size wooden statue of Jesus.

“It’s not what you’re used to seeing when you are driving down the 5,” said the Rev. Tom Callard, rector of All Saints Episcopal Church in Highland Park. He was among about 50 Episcopalians who gathered at St. Clement’s Episcopal Church in San Clemente for a “way of the cross” service before heading to Chula Vista for the next prayer session in a series.
