Events at Holy Family Parish for Lent

Stations of the Cross at Holy Family Parish
A beautiful and rich tradition in the Catholic Church is to walk with Jesus on His way to the crucifixion every Friday during Lent.  It is a difficult walk, a humbling walk, a walk that reminds us of His immeasurable love for us and the great sacrifice that He made for each one of us. 
​

  • Wednesdays of Lent, 6:30pm, St. Peter Church with the Knights of Columbus
  • Fridays of Lent, 7:00pm, St. Joseph (Spanish)
Una hermosa y rica tradición en la Iglesia Católica es caminar con Jesús en su camino a la crucifixión cada viernes durante la Cuaresma.  Es una caminata difícil, una caminata de humildad, una caminata que nos recuerda su inconmensurable amor por nosotros y el gran sacrificio que hizo por CADA UNO DE NOSOTROS.​
