The Stations of the Cross are a 14-step Catholic devotion that commemorates Jesus Christ’s last day on Earth as a man. The 14 devotions, or stations, focus on specific events of His last day, beginning with His condemnation. At each station, we recall and meditate on a specific event from Christ’s last day. Specific prayers are recited, then we proceed to the next station until all 14 are complete. The stations are most commonly prayed during Lent on Wednesdays and Fridays, and especially on Good Friday, the day of the year upon which the events actually occurred.

Stations of the Cross will take place every Friday evening during Lent, beginning on Friday, February 24th.

VIA CRUCIS- El Camino de la Cruz

Acompáñanos a vivir la pasión de nuestro Señor Jesucristo que se llevara a cabo el día viernes, 10 de marzo a partir de las 6 PM en el jardín de nuestra parroquia.
The Via Crucis devotion (Way of the Cross) has been practiced by Roman Catholics for many centuries. It commemorates the passion and death of Jesus Christ through the reading of prayers along a path of 14 stations. The tradition of chapel devotion began with St. Francis of Assisi and extended throughout the Roman Catholic Church in medieval times.
Please join us on March 10th at 6 PM on the parish grounds as this prayer devotion comes to life! All are encouraged to participate in this beautiful event.

¿Qué es el viacrucis?
Es la meditación de los momentos y sufrimientos vividos por Jesús desde que fue hecho prisionero hasta su muerte en la cruz y posterior resurrección.
Literalmente, via crucis significa “camino de la cruz”. Al rezarlo, recordamos con amor
y agradecimiento lo mucho que Jesús sufrió por salvarnos del pecado durante su pasión y muerte.
Dicho camino se representa mediante la Pasión que se llaman “estaciones”.
Te animarás a cargar con las cruces de cada día, si recuerdas con frecuencia las estaciones o
pasos de Jesús hasta el Calvario.

El Via crucis consta de 14 estaciones:

  • Primera Estación: Jesús es condenado a muerte.

  • Segunda Estación: Jesús carga la cruz a cuestas.

  • Tercera Estación: Jesús cae por primera vez.

  • Cuarta Estación: Jesús encuentra a su Santa Madre.

  • Quinta Estación: El Cirineo ayuda a Jesús a llevar la cruz.
