St. Michael offers opportunities to pray the Stations of the Cross communally on Fridays during Lent in English and Spanish, both in St. Michael Church.

A bi-lingual (English/Spanish) dramatic presentation of the Stations of the Cross was prayed on Good Friday at 11 AM. The bi-lingual Stations on Good Friday were a devotion and not part of the official Good Friday liturgy. The Good Friday Celebration of the Passion of Our Lord in Spanish followed the stations at 12 Noon. The Good Friday Liturgy was repeated at 3 PM and 7:30 PM in English.

Stations of the Cross may also be prayed at any time by reflecting on the images on the walls of our Church. You can download a booklet, view the videos and use the images below when praying the stations at home.

Lenten Stations of the Cross – On Fridays


On Fridays during Lent, beginning on February 16 the Stations of the Cross will be prayed in English at 4 PM in the Church and in Spanish at 6 PM on February 16, 23 and March 1, 22 in the Church and on March 8, 15 in the Chapel.

The Stations of the Cross has been and continues to be a traditional devotion during the Lenten Season. The Stations of the Cross are prayed on Fridays in remembrance of Good Friday. The Stations of the Cross are a form of prayer, a devotion that allows us to walk the Way of the Cross-with Jesus – helping us to understand what he did for us. Every Catholic Church in the world has the Stations of the Cross on their walls. These are not just pretty pictures, paintings, or statutes – they are meant to help us understand that Jesus suffered greatly for us and to lead us deeper into prayer. If you have not noticed our stations, I invite you to look at the sidewalls of the Church – these stations tell the story of Christ’s love, his suffering and his death.
