Living Stations

Joe Paprocki Stations of the Cross

This past Monday, the 4th graders put on the Living Stations of the Cross and they did a wonderful job. I was very impressed with how prayerful and mature they were…the whole experience was done with great reverence.  Here’s a pic and then an invitation from a catechist named Ron to view their Living Stations in a picture gallery, station-by-station. Thanks Ron!

All,

Click the link below, if you’d like to see Station-by-Station scenes of the Living Stations (these pictures were taken at the service with the schoolchildren last week). Parishioner Brad Hill is inviting all to take a look, for meditation. If anyone wants any of the pictures they can go to his Picasa Web album and download the pictures:

<Just a note that Living Stations will also be portrayed by our Senior High Youth Group on Wed., April 6, at 7:00 p.m.>

Hats off to Mrs. Rhonda Phetsadasack, Mrs. Mary Kay Smith (teachers and co-sponsors of Student Council) and their students!
