Stations of the Cross
No doubt you have noticed the “new” (new to us)
Stations of the Cross hanging in the church. They
came from a church in the south side of Chicago
and date back to the early 1920’s. You may notice
some paint chipped off here and there on some of
the stations, but when something is close to 100
years old that’s to be expected. For their age, they
are in excellent condition and I think we were lucky
to get them. I hope to touch them up and really
clean them properly in the near future.
I am offering the opportunity to
memorialize the stations. You can sponsor a station in memory of a lost loved
one (or loved ones), or to memorialize a special
occasion or event in your life, for $1,000. If you are
not able to afford the $1,000 in one lump sum, you
can make a pledge on a station and pay $50 or $100
per month (or whatever you feel you can afford)
until your pledge is completed, or you can pay with
a credit card (you could earn points!).
A plaque with the memorialized names or reasons
for each station will be hung in the Gathering Space.
It will be similar to the plaque for the Resurrection
statue hanging there now.
You may choose whatever station (or stations) you
like, however, Stations 1, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12 and 13 have
already been reserved.
If you are interested in sponsoring a station, please
contact the parish office in person or my phone at
302-368-4665.
