Allegations of Abuse Fuel Vigil
BOSTON — Dozens of people holding photos of children allegedly abused by priests gathered on the Boston Common for a somber vigil Sunday morning before marching to the Cathedral of the Holy Cross.
About 60 relatives and supporters gathered on the Common and walked one by one to a podium to unveil the photos draped with purple cloth. About 150 more people looked on.
The Solidarity March then snaked silently in single file through Boston’s streets to the cathedral.
The event culminated with people holding the photos on the steps of the cathedral, where protesters have demonstrated against Cardinal Bernard Law on Sundays since the church’s sexual abuse scandal erupted in January.
