A previous Solidarity Walk & Prayer Vigil to Honor Victims & Survivors of Human Trafficking at St. Irenaeus Church.

By Rosemary Lewallen

St. Irenaeus Health Ministry is turning the light on human trafficking. The Epstein files and Epstein’s coercion of young women have dominated the national news for years and continue to do so. Human trafficking such as this is not just occurring on the East Coast, but can be found in our community as well, if we are observant.

All are invited to attend the Solidarity Walk and Prayer Vigil on Tuesday, February 3rd, from 6:55 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at St. Irenaeus Church, 5201 Evergreen Ave., Cypress, CA 90630, to honor victims and survivors of human trafficking. This is a free event.

Please join us in our candlelit procession within the church as we discuss how the crime of human trafficking affects our daily lives, destroys innocence, creates online vulnerability for our youth, and intersects with child marriage.

Join the fight against human trafficking by participating in the Bridge of Light Ministry’s Solidarity Walk and Prayer Vigil. Uniting with others creates a symbol of our dedication to honor the victims and survivors of human trafficking and raises community awareness of this heinous crime. Cypress Mayor Medrano and Cypress Police Chief Lauderback will be in attendance and will offer a few brief remarks. If you have any questions, please get in touch with Monica Kovach, Chair of the Bridge of Light Ministry, at 310-490-6113.
