The Way of the Cross route
|
Held annually for more than 35 years (prior to the pandemic), the Outdoor Way of the Cross is a prayerful, family-friendly devotional walk through the streets of downtown, refl ecting on the Passion of Jesus.
Last year, this spiritual event was briefl y revived at St. Mary’s University. This year marks a return to the heart of the city, and organizers hope to once again welcome 2,500 to 3,000 participants, as experienced in pre-pandemic years. Along the route, participants pause for prayer, refl ection on scripture, and contemplative singing—offering a public witness to Christ’s journey to the Cross and how we need to be present to the spiritual and social challenges faced in our communities today. Participants are encouraged to dress for the weather and to join at any point along the route. All are also welcome to attend the Good Friday liturgies at St. Mary’s Cathedral at 12 pm and 3 pm, celebrated by Bishop McGrattan. |
