A nationally recognized faith-based race-reconciliation initiative, Worship on the Water, is set to take place on Sunday, July 30, 2023. The primary objective of this special event is to foster unity and promote racial harmony, transcending religious affiliations and racial identities. Hosting this interfaith, interracial faith service on the fifth Sunday of every month, Mayor Errick D. Simmons aims to create a space where people can come together in the spirit of togetherness and understanding.
The distinguished speaker for this significant occasion will be Father Thomas Mullally, the priest in residence at Sacred Heart Catholic Church of Greenville, Mississippi. Father Mullally’s presence and message are anticipated to resonate with attendees, inspiring them toward a deeper appreciation of diversity and a stronger sense of community.
In a statement, Mayor Errick D. Simmons underscored the core purpose of this faith-based racial reconciliation initiative, emphasizing its mission to bring people together, irrespective of their racial identity or religious affiliation.
