Archbishop Fabre and students lead Stations of the Cross at Calvary Cemetery
About 50 people gathered at Calvary Cemetery on March 20 to pray the Stations of the Cross with Archbishop Shelton J. Fabre and seventh-grade students from St. Francis of Assisi School.
The event, which took place among monuments and headstones, saw each student take turns leading a station alongside Archbishop Fabre. At the end of the prayer service, a group of girls performed “Amazing Grace” as a moment for reflection.
