Living Stations of the Cross: Friday, February 26
The youth of Saint Bonaventure invite you to pray the Living Stations of the Cross with us. In this theatrical adaptation, the community is invited to walk along Christ's journey to the cross through visual representation, modern reflection and song. Throughout the journey the community is invited to reflect on recognizing Christ in others in their day to day life. This is not a play, but an opportunity to truly open your heart to God and walk along with Jesus in His journey towards the cross.
