Families with children are specially invited to take part in The Ursuline Center’s next guided labyrinth walk, “Celebrating Families,” at 6:30 p.m. July 14 at 4280 Shields Road.

Children have their own way to pray the labyrinth, often in more physical and vocal ways than adults.

A complete list of 2015 guided walks can be found at www.theursulinecenter.org.

The labyrinth is a ministry of the Ursuline Sisters of Youngstown and is open year-round from dawn to dusk for all people of faith.

There is no cost to use the Labyrinth, which is handicapped-accessible and offers ample parking.
