Stations of the Cross
2025-04-11 17:30 - 18:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Our Lady Star of the Sea Church, 500 Veneta Ave., Bremerton, WA, 98337, United States
Join us Fridays during Lent for Stations of the Cross at 5:30PM in the Church.
The Knights of Columbus will host a Fish Fry in Camerman Hall (church basement) following the stations.

The Stations of the Cross began as a practice of pious pilgrims to Jerusalem who would retrace the final journey of Christ to Calvary. Later, for the many who couldn’t make the trip to Jerusalem, a practice developed that eventually took the form of the fourteen stations currently found in most Catholic churches.
Our Lady Star of the Sea uses the prayers and meditations from St. Alphonsus Liguori’s “The Way of the Cross”.

they took palm branches and went out to meet him, and cried out:
“Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the king of Israel.”

From Franciscan Media:Mary’s divine motherhood broadens the Christmas spotlight. Mary has an important role to play in the Incarnation of the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity. She consents to God’s invitation conveyed by the angel (Luke 1:26-38). Elizabeth proclaims: “Most blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?” (Luke 1:42-43, emphasis added). Mary’s role as mother of God places her in a unique position in God’s redemptive plan.Without naming Mary, Paul asserts that “God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law” (Galatians 4:4). Paul’s further statement that “God sent the spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying out ‘Abba, Father!’” helps us realize that Mary is mother to all the brothers and sisters of Jesus.

Noon-3:00 PM | Confessions and Tre-Ore Service | Star of the Sea“The Three Hours of Agony” or Tre Ore is a liturgical service held on Good Friday from noon until 3 o’clock to commemorate the Passion of Christ. Specifically, it refers to the three hours that Jesus hung on the Cross and includes a series of homilies on the seven last words spoken by Christ.

3:00 PM | Stations of the Cross | Star of the Sea & Holy TrinityThe Stations of the Cross, also known as the Way of the Cross or Via Crucis, commemorate Jesus’s passion and death on the cross. There are 14 stations that each depict a moment on his journey to Calvary, usually through sacred art, prayers, and reflections.
The practice began as pious pilgrims traced his path through Jerusalem on the Via Dolorosa. Many who wanted to pass along the same route, but could not make the trip to Jerusalem, developed what eventually took the form of the fourteen stations currently found in almost every church throughout the world.

3:30 PM | Divine Mercy Novena begins | Star of the Sea & Holy Trinity “I desire that during these nine days you bring souls to the fountain of My mercy, that they may draw therefrom strength and refreshment and whatever grace they have need of in the hardships of life, and especially at the hour of death” (Diary of St. Faustina, 1209).
Prayed on ordinary rosary beads, The Chaplet of The Divine Mercy is an intercessory prayer that extends the offering of the Eucharist, so it is especially appropriate to use it after having received Holy Communion at Holy Mass.

7:00 PM | Liturgy of the Passion of the Lord | Star of the Sea & Holy Trinity (bilingual)

The Good Friday liturgy commemorates the Passion of Christ. During the liturgy, the faithfull will come forward to venerate a crucifix, recalling Christ’s death for our salvation. The tradition dates back to the late 4th century when, according to legend, St. Helena, the mother of Constantine, discovered the true cross in Jerusalem.

“Behold, for you I have established a throne on earth – the tabernacle – and from this throne I desire to enter into your heart. You can come to me at any moment, at any time; I want to speak to you and desire to grant you grace.”
“My Heart overflows with great mercy for souls, and especially for poor sinners. If only they could understand that I am the best Father to them and it is for them that the Blood and Water flowed from My Heart…For them I dwell in the tabernacle as King of Mercy. I desire to bestow grace upon souls.”
-Jesus to St. Faustina
