Today, on Good Friday, we enter into the stillness and somberness of the mystery of the Cross. We pause to keep watch and pray and gaze upon the face our bruised and battered God. A God who willingly gave of himself on this disgraceful instrument of torture and brutality.
Clemency has been denied to Willie Pye by the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles. Please consider joining with Georgians of all faiths at one of the vigils throughout the state on Wednesday, March 20.
On March 7, Archbishop Gregory J. Hartmayer, OFM Conv., wrote to the Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles to ask for clemency for death row inmate Willie James Pye.
Please take action today to send a message to the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles that Georgians value the lives of all, especially the most vulnerable. Sign the petition to grant clemency and stop the execution of Willie James Pye.
