Events Centered on Prayer

Stations of the Cross

Often done during the season of Lent, Stations of the Cross is a 14 part prayer devoted to Jesus’ last day on earth as a living person. This past year for Good Friday, our stations of the cross had specific intentions for the sufferings of our global world.
