A Cross-Carrying Faith: Children and Youth Lead Stations of the Cross

This Friday evening, April 11, the sacred silence of Lent was filled with youthful voices and heartfelt prayer, as children and youth from St. John’s and St. Demetrius came together to lead the Stations of the Cross in a moving and prayerful gathering.

With reverence and sincerity, our young parishioners read specially adapted meditations at each station — reflections thoughtfully crafted to resonate with younger hearts and minds. As they journeyed with Christ through His Passion, their voices echoed not only the solemnity of the moment but also a deep desire to walk in His footsteps with faith and love.

Parents, grandparents, and parishioners joined in silent reflection, united in prayer as a community. It was a beautiful witness to the power of shared faith across generations and a reminder of the spiritual maturity that lives even in our youngest believers.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to all the children and youth who participated, and to the families who came in support. Your presence transformed this evening into something truly special — a moment of faith passed on, hope lived, and love shared.

Let us continue to journey through this Lenten season with open hearts, guided by the example of our youth and the enduring message of the Cross.
