Roman Catholic church walks the Way of the Cross after three year absence
For the first time in three years, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Prince Albert finally held its annual tradition of honouring Good Friday with the Outdoor Way of the Cross through downtown.
A sizeable crowd carried a large wooden cross, to signify the day Jesus Christ was crucified. They went through the city’s downtown core, as a reminder to those that faith isn’t just about hope, but it can be about change, too.
“To remember our faith isn’t just about praying for things to change, but going out there and reflecting on it in our community,” said Christine Taylor, director of Evangelization and Catechesis for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Prince Albert. “Reflecting on how Christ continues to be present in the poor and the most abandoned among us, and how we are called to reach about and think about that outside, in the downtown area of the city,”
Taylor said it was “absolutely awesome” to have the opportunity to gather together and have the event again. The group walked for about 90 minutes around the city, starting and finishing at City Hall.
