  Diocese of Oakland Participates In "Virtual" Stations Of The Cross: Overcoming Racism
  
  The Bishops of the California Catholic Conference released a video reenacting the Stations of the Cross to draw attention to the sin of racism and ask God’s help in eliminating it. Each station in the video was taped at a location with rich racial significance. The sixth Station of the Cross was taped at the Fruitvale BART station in Oakland where Oscar Grant was killed. The Way of the Cross is an ancient prayer, allowing people to enter into Jesus’ final outpouring of love.
