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”.
