Walking in the footsteps of Jesus

submitted by St. Mary’s Parish Office

All during the season of Lent, Christians everywhere and Catholics in particular gather on Fridays to recall in prayer the journey Jesus walked, from the judgment of Pilate to His death and Resurrection. The people of St. Mary, Manchester, invite all their friends and neighbors to join them this coming Friday, March 10, at 7:30pm as they travel in prayer along this Way of the Cross.

What can you expect when you join in this journey? You can expect to see the points along the way (the “Stations”) illustrated in beautiful paintings on the walls of St. Mary Church. At each Station you can expect to have your attention drawn to explore its meaning. And you can expect a powerful prayer — in words and music — to deepen your reflection on each Station as you walk in Jesus’ footsteps.

This short prayer service is a whole-family occasion, especially fitting to meditate upon as we draw closer to the historic events leading to Jesus’ crucifixion and glorious Resurrection. Fr. Bosco and St. Mary parishioners warmly invite you to join them.

St. Mary’s is the lovely little fieldstone church, located in the Village, just west of downtown, directly across from the Gazebo. For more information, please call the parish office at (734) 428-8811.

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
