A group of Catholic Workers will be fasting August 1-4 and vigiling each day from 9 am-5 pm at the Sudanese embassy in Washington, D.C., and in South Bend, Indiana, for an end to genocide in Darfur.
All are welcome to join the vigil at any time for any length of time regardless of whether or not they are fasting with the core group. The embassy is at 2210 Massachusetts Ave. NW, Washington, D.C.

Hi!
This is really awesome,I like the posts about the progress of your fast and vigil. I was at on in DC last month and talked to alot of great people, and wish I had heard about this one so I could have made it down in time. I’ve learned alot about what has happened in Darfur lately, and am really happy that you guys are working to get it public and to stop the killings.
Mike and Friends, Have you seen this new Darfur Fast campaign? Jim
