On Sunday, the Marymount University community gathered virtually to honor the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. through a MLK prayer service, “A Journey Towards Healing: Where Do We Go From Here?”<\/p>\n

The event, sponsored by the Office of Ministry and Spiritual Life<\/a> and the Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion<\/a>, was streamed live on the University’s YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

President Irma Becerra opened the event with remarks, followed by excerpts and audio from Dr. King’s ever-relevant speech, “Where Do We Go From Here?” The service<\/span> also featured a moving performance of “Precious Lord” by Jordan Stewart, Spiritual Artist in Residence at Howard University’s Wesley Foundation, and a reflective sermon from Episcopal priest Charles Graves IV of Houston Canterbury.<\/p>\n
