On Good Friday, some parishioners at Our Lady of the Way re-enacted the Stations of the Cross. It was a very moving experience enabling us to reflect upon the suffering of Jesus, and the abundance of love He has for each of us.
Thank you to those who acted, read and sung, to those who helped with the setting up and packing away of chairs and to those who worked behind the scenes in many different ways.
A big thank you to Sarah and Debby for the time, energy and dedication spent organising such a special morning.
