<\/p>\n

The Via Crucis<\/em> is a devotional journey that follows Our Lords’ path from his condemnation to his burial. It consists of 14 stations, each recalling a moment from the Passion. It is prayed especially during Lent and Holy Week, but can be prayed the year\u2011round. At its heart, it is about walking with Christ in his suffering and allowing that journey to help us prepare fpr Holy Week.<\/p>\n

Each Friday during Lent at 5.30pm, we pray the Stations of the Cross (in place of Adoration).<\/p>\n
