Stations Of The Cross
by The Franciscan Fathers on their Missions

Welcome to different locations listed below, to pray virtually the Station of the Cross. 
Come back often as I add to locations for your meditation on the Stations of the Cross with our Lord Jesus Christ.

This exercise of the Stations of the Cross helps renew our remembrance of the sufferings which our Divine Redeemer underwent on His journey from Pilate's praetorium, where He was condemned to death, to Mount Calvary, where for our salvation He died on the cross.

For me one of the steps in my faith of the Rosary was the focus I had on particular mysteries of the Rosary. The Station of the Cross gives you an opportunity to meditate on each of His steps, I promise it will move your heart to a deeper level in your faith.

  • Fourteen crosses are required in order to erect the Stations of the Cross. As an aid to devotion these crosses are customarily attached to fourteen tableaux or images representing the Jerusalem stations.
