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.
