Stations in the City: Journeying the Way of the Cross in Midtown

Modeled after the Via Dolorosa (Way of Sorrows) in Jerusalem, we will reflect on Jesus' final journey to the cross during a meditative pilgrimage through the neighborhood. Pausing briefly at sites such as the train station and firehouse, we will offer prayers for the city and the world during Holy Week. The liturgy will begin on the chapel steps of St. Bart's at 6:00 pm and depart promptly at 6:10 pm. Bring water and come prepared to travel approximately two miles via sidewalks during this one-hour and fifteen-minute experience (rain or shine). 

The leaflet will include original full-color images by parishioner and artist Gwyneth Leech.
