FOREST CITY — Parishioners at Immaculate Conception Church, led by Father Herbert Burke, pastor, and Deacon Andy Cilone, pray the Stations of the Cross on a recent Friday in Lent.
The Stations of the Cross are found in Catholic churches as a series of 14 small icons or images, either inside or outside. The stations are most commonly prayed during Lent on Wednesdays and Fridays, and especially on Good Friday, the day when the events of Jesus’ Passion took place.
Everyone is encouraged to pray the Stations of the Cross as part of their Lenten observance:
