Fridays Throughout Lent, 6 p.m.
April 3
What you’ll experience as we gather:
The Stations of the Cross (also known as the Way of the Cross or Via Dolorosa) serves as a “spiritual pilgrimage,” where participants move from station to station to meditate on specific events of the Passion. At St. Ignatius the stations are sculptured engravings arranged at intervals around the walls of a church. Devotions will emphasize both the traditional language leading to Christ’s death and its sorrows easily found in our city of Baltimore where similar moments are played out today. Following the service will be the best Lenten meal in Baltimore, prepared and served lovingly by parishioners. All are invited.
