Good Friday / Living Way of the Cross

On Good Friday, our Spanish-speaking community celebrates with a Living Way of the Cross, offering a unique and immersive experience compared to the traditional Good Friday service. This event takes place at 6:00 p.m., beginning in our back parking lot.

The Living Way of the Cross involves a dramatic reenactment of Jesus’ journey to Calvary. The stations of the cross are set up around our entire city block, and a group of parishioners, dressed in period costumes, vividly recreates each scene. At each station, the scene is enacted and accompanied by music, as the crowd follows the procession around the block. The event concludes with Jesus being crucified in the sanctuary of the church.

Given the large crowds, which can exceed 1,000 people, we use a comprehensive sound system with microphones to ensure everyone can fully participate in the reenactment. As the procession moves into the church, attendees follow, with additional seating available in our parish hall. Thanks to our camera system, we project the live scene into the hall so that everyone can view the event.

ENGLISH SERVICE: A traditional Good Friday Service is held at 12:00 noon.
