Holy Week Liturgy – The Stations of the Cross
On Wednesday, 24 March, all students and staff attended the Stations of the Cross at St Joseph’s Church. The Stations of the Cross commemorates Jesus Christ's last day on Earth as a man. The devotions, or stations, focus on specific events of His last day, beginning with His condemnation.
Selected Religious education classes acted out a particular Station of the cross and our students and staff were challenged to think about the suffering of Jesus and how this relates to us in our lives now.
