Join Us for a Deeply Moving Experience

We invite you to our 4th annual Interactive Stations of the Cross, on Saturday, March 8th. This cherished event has provided countless individuals with profound emotional and spiritual nourishment over the years.

Each visitor will embark on a personal journey through the Stations, engaging in meaningful tasks, reflections, life connections, and prayers. Seating is available at each Station, allowing participants to pause and reflect as they choose, making this a truly self-paced experience.

The event will be held in the Religious Education building. Doors will be open from 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM. While most participants complete their journey through all 14 Stations in 15 to 30 minutes, the self-guided nature of the event allows you to take as much time as you need.

We hope you will join us for this intimate and intentional walk with Jesus and experience the deeply emotional and spiritual connection that this event offers.
