Stations of the Cross April 5 and 12 6:00 p.m. (English) 8:00 p.m. (Spanish)Stations of the Cross for Children will begin at 5:00 pm in the sanctuary
The Stations of the Cross began as the practice of pi-ous pilgrims to Jerusalem who would retrace the final journey of Jesus Christ to Calvary. Later, for the many who wanted to pass along the same route, but could not make the trip to Jerusalem, a practice developed that eventually took the form of the fourteen stations currently found in almost every church.
Via Crucis5 y 12 de abril6:00 p.m. (Inglés) 8:00 p.m. (Español)Las estaciones de la Cruz para Niños comenzarán a las 5:00 pm en el santuario
Las Estaciones de la Cruz comenzaron como la prác-tica de peregrinos piadosos a Jerusalén que volverían sobre el viaje final de Jesucristo al Calvario. Más tar-de, para los muchos que querían pasar por la misma ruta, pero no pudieron hacer el viaje a Jerusalén, se desarrolló una práctica que finalmente tomó la forma de las catorce estaciones que se encuentran actual-mente en casi todas las iglesias.
