Walk the Way of the Cross on Good Friday, March 29

At each of the five stations, participants will listen to the gospel, a reading from classical literature, and a priest’s reflection relating to Christ. The Communion and Liberation Choir will sing Passion and other choral pieces. From each station to the next, participants will walk in silence, following the cross and guided safely by bicycle police officers.
