Stations of the Cross are a 14 step devotion that commemorates Jesus Christ's last day on Earth as a man. The 14 stations focus on specific events of His last day, beginning with His condemnation.
Let's Pray Together His journey on the Via Dolorosa every Friday at 7pm during Lent.
On March 25, together we will pray the Stations through the eyes of Mary, our Mother. On this feast day of the Annunciation, our focus on the Lord's passion will be prayed through song and interaction.
(Each night of stations is anticipated to be approximately 30 mins.)

Look at the "old way" Confession was heard compared to the "new way".
You now can be face to face or not, which ever you are more comfortable with.
And while you are in there, you can admire the gorgeous window of The Apostle's Creed -
The Forgiveness of Sins
-Crossed keys. The power of the church to forgive and to retain sins.
-Cross and drops of blood, the atonement through the blood of Christ.
-Hand of Priest. Stole suggesting the Absolution: Ego the Absolve.
You can have your confession heard every Saturday 8:30-9:30am (except April 16th), Monday, April 4th 7-8pm or by appointment.
