The Way of the Cross Vía Crucis Viviente

The Vía Crucis Viviente — the Living Way of the Cross — is one of the great Good Friday traditions of St. Francis. Parishioners take on the parts of Jesus, Mary, Simon, Veronica, the soldiers, and the women of Jerusalem, and we walk the fourteen stations together, in English and in Spanish, through the streets of Allison Hill.

Neighbors come out onto their porches. Cars stop. Children carry the cross. We pause at every corner to read the station, pray together, and sing. It is a quiet, public act of love for our neighborhood — and an invitation to anyone who wants to walk with us.
