Good Friday Procession at Cemetery of the Holy Rood
One of the most heavily attended events at our cemeteries each year is the walking of the Stations of the Cross at Cemetery of the Holy Rood. Annually, hundreds of family members gather on Good Friday to commemorate Our Lord’s redemptive death. We invite all families to join us at Holy Rood this Good Friday, March 29th at 12:00 Noon.
After opening prayers at Holy Rood Chapel, we will begin our 1.5-mile pilgrimage throughout the cemetery, stopping at each of the 14 Stations to pray and reflect. The service will conclude with final prayers and Veneration of the Cross in the Chapel. If the weather is inclement, the full service will be held in Holy Rood Chapel
Self-Directed Stations of the Cross
Families unable to join us on Good Friday are invited to participate in a self-directed Stations of the Cross prayer service at Cemetery of the Holy Rood or Queen of Peace Cemetery. Families may come to either cemetery to complete the self-directed prayer service at a time convenient to them during Lent.
Prayer booklets for Stations of the Cross may be picked up from the Chapels at both cemeteries. Prayer booklets may also be downloaded from our website at cclongisland.org/stations-of-the-cross
