The Stations of the Cross, also known as the Way of the Cross or Via Crucis, commemorate Jesus's passion and death on the cross. There are 14 stations that each depict a moment on his journey to Calvary, usually through sacred art, prayers, and reflections. The practice began as pious pilgrims traced his path through Jerusalem on the Via Dolorosa.

It is tradition to pray the Stations of the Cross each Friday during Lent, however, you are encouraged to pray them anytime throughout the year. The walls of the church are adorned with the fourteen stations and we also have a beautiful, outdoor Stations of the Cross that is located directly behind the church.
