Students ofinthe Confirmation 1 and 2 classes at Holy Trinity Catholic Church will present the Living Stations of the Cross on Wednesday, April 16, at 7 p.m.

This meaningful performance will provide an opportunity for the congregation to reflect on the depth of Jesus’ suffering and sacrifice.

The event is designed to help attendees deepen their understanding of the Passion of Christ through a thoughtful reenactment of the Stations of the Cross, offering a chance to remember and meditate on the significance of Jesus’ journey to the cross.

“This is my second year having the opportunity to help the students put together this performance,” said director Claire Gilbert. “There are 45 students involved this year, which has led to new roles and positions being created. My favorite part about the performance is how it allows the kids to walk through the events of Jesus’ passion and learn new pieces that help them to appreciate his sacrifice for them.”

Filling key roles in the performance are Nakia Mohr, reader in English, Ana Carmona, reader in Spanish, Emerson Sarvis, Jesus, and Aleshka Oyola Rodriguez, Blessed Mother Mary.

There are 14 Stations of the Cross, beginning with Jesus condemned to death, Jesus carrying the cross, Jesus falling three times, Simon helping Jesus carry his cross, Veronica wipes the face of Jesus, Jesus is nailed to the cross, Jesus dies on the cross, Jesus is taken from the cross, and Jesus is laid in the tomb.

“I am very thankful to have the opportunity to sing for the Living Stations two years in a row,” said Ava Wambach, who is part of the choir. “My favorite part is when Jesus is up on the cross and there is a moment of silence, because we are all able to realize how powerful the moment really is.”

Mohr, who will narrate the event, said, “I feel very honored to be the narrator, because I am helping people understand what Jesus went through for us.

“My favorite line is ‘Before he breathed his last, he saw your face — he saw mine’ because it is a very powerful sentence,” she added.
