The walks were orga- nized in response to the overwhelming amount of violence that occurred over the summer in Park Hill neighborhood and the surrounding areas. Not one to simply sit still and do nothing, Johnson believes that Cath- olics are called by Christ to leave the walls of their churches and be among those who are su" ering. "Being able to share that Christian love that you say you got, rather than keeping it inside of you or inside those walls is what this is about," he said. "Taking the risk that the Master took; he was no wimp. He was someone who was out there, doing it." Another parishioner, Minnie Cassel, shared how she has been living in Park Hill for 31 years and has experienced countless shootings, including some right outside of her bedroom window. She also lost one of her daughters to violence in 2007. In spite of what she has seen happen in her neighborhood, she refuses to move. "They're not going to run me away," she told the community. "We need to stay, fi ght for our homes, fi ght for our community, fi ght for our families, fi ght for our lives. If we keep praying, I'm sure God will hear us and things will change. I honestly believe that, and I hope you do too."
