VIA CRUCIS - STATIONS OF THE CROSS
Once again this Lent we will be praying the Stations of the Cross
Monday – Friday at St. Thomas More before the 8:30am Mass. The Rosary will be prayed at 7:45am followed by Stations of the Cross at 8:00am. The priests will also be praying the
Stations of the Cross on Friday evenings during Lent at 7:00pm at St. Thomas More..
The Stations of the Cross, also known as the Way of the Cross, are a popular Lenten devo-tion to help the Christian faithful make a spiritual pilgrimage through contemplation of the
Passion of Christ. Please join us!
Eternal Rest Eternal Rest Eternal Rest Grant Unto Them, Grant Unto Them, Grant Unto Them,
O Lord…O Lord…O Lord…

seek to be a parish of service and comfort to all. To commit ourselves to be a vessel through which our Catholic heritage and traditions may be preserved and grow so that our parish may flourish in the Spirit of
the Lord.
