Family Stations of the Cross Walk
On Wednesday April 5th from 6:15-7:15, we will be having a special Family Stations of the Cross Walk. There will be eight stations to walk through that tell the passion story. The stations will be specifically designed for children to engage in the story of Christ’s arrest through resurrection. Each station will tell a piece of the story through scripture, a child friendly reflection, questions, and a sensory experience.
Even if your child doesn’t normally attend our Midweek program, you are welcome to join us for this special event. This is a great opportunity to engage in faith formation with your child. Each family is asked to send at least one adult to walk the stations with their child to help guide them through the stations. You are welcome to bring older siblings and other family members as well.
