Stations of the Cross

The 14 Stations of the Cross (also known as the Way of the Cross,) is a Christian devotional practice going back to the time of St. Francis of Assisi and beyond. It involves meditating at way stations on the way to the Cross, recalling Jesus’ journey along the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem on Good Friday.

Throughout the Sanctuary there are prints of paintings by James Jacques Tissot as representatives of the stations. We have books available as guides to a suggested way of “walking” these stations (John Paul II’s Biblical Way of the Cross).

You are encouraged to join in walking the stations every Friday in Lent; beginning at 6:00 PM.
