Seminarians from Notre Dame Seminary, the Dominican Sisters of Peace who staff the Peace Center on Broadway Street and neighbors gather with Rev. Victor Pratt, pastor of St. Peter’s Baptist Church, and Father Peter Finney, pastor of St. Rita Church, for a prayer service in memory of Dalton Stone, 25, who was shot and killed Sept. 4 around noon just steps away from the Baptist church in the 3000 block of Broadway Street. Stone’s mother was killed in 1998, and three of his six siblings were also killed in New Orleans shootings. The seminarians have been working with parishioners to do neighborhood outreach and assess community needs.
