Join us for the unique opportunity to pray with and for abuse survivors as they connect their own experiences to those of Jesus Christ in His final days.

This prayer experience follows the traditional Stations of the Cross devotion, with each station featuring a personal reflection written by someone who has experienced sexual abuse by clergy or another Catholic leader. The reflections in this service are not graphic, but some sections do reference episodes of abuse and may be triggering to those carrying their own experience of trauma.

Coffee hour to follow in the parish hall. A time to gather, share and be in community with and to support victim-survivors.
