The Way of the Cross will be held each Friday evening during Lent, followed by Holy Mass.

HISTORY OF THE STATIONS OF THE CROSS:

The Stations began in Jerusalem in the early centuries after Jesus’
death and resurrection. On Good Friday, early Christians
would walk the path that Jesus had walked carrying
his cross. Gradually, churches came to be built along the way
and Christian pilgrims would stop at them to pray remembering
Jesus’ last journey. In the 13th century when the Moslems took
over Jerusalem, Christians decided to continue to remember
Jesus’ journey to the cross in their churches. Over the centuries,
these came to be known as the Stations of the Cross and the
devotion of praying the Stations on the Fridays of Lent developed.
Today, our Catholic Churches all hold fourteen pictures or statues,
depicting Jesus’ way to the cross around the outside walls of the
church to remind us of His sacrifice and great love for us.
