Stations of the Cross

The traditional Lenten devotion of the
“Stations of the Cross” is held every Friday
during Lent at 8:00 am after the 7:30 Mass and
6:15 pm after the 5:45 Mass. Spanish Stations
are also on Friday at 7:00 pm.

Introduced by St. Francis of Assisi during the Middle Ages,
the “Stations” has been one of the traditional ways we can
enhance and intensify our prayer life during Lent. It is
certainly a pleasing offering to God for our intentions.
