For Catholics throughout the world, the Stations of the Cross are synonymous with Lent, Holy Week and, especially, Good Friday. This devotion known as the "Way of the Cross", commemorates 14 key events on the day of Christ's crucifixion.   The Stations originated in medieval Europe when wars prevented Christian pilgrims from visiting the Holy Land. European artists created works depicting scenes of Christ's journey to Calvary. The faithful installed these sculptures or paintings at intervals along a procession, inside the parish church or outdoors. Performing the devotion meant walking the entire route, stopping to pray at each "station." Today the Stations of the Cross are depicted in virtually every Catholic Church, and prayed by millions of the faithful.   

Join our parish community each Friday of Lent at 6:30 pm  to pray, to remember, to honor your Savior.
