Every year, on Good Friday, the Knights of Columbus Council 3881, in Oakville, will be hosting a 'Way of the Cross Good Friday Walk', which starts at 9:00am at St Andrew's Roman Catholic Church, and ends at around 2:15pm at St Dominic's Roman Catholic Church. Hot Vegetable and bean Soup, bread and refreshments will be served at around Noon at St James Roman Catholic Church and refreshments will be served at St Dominic's Roman Catholic Church at around 2:30pm. Please bring your family and friends.
You do not have to walk with us all the way (8 kilometers). but you can join us in between each stations, or at each station or at some of the stations. But what better way to enjoy the outdoors and pray at the same time.
We will have a vehicle on standby should you need to rest. The St. John Ambulance may also follow us on this trip.
On this Good Friday, as we listen to the reflections at the various Stations of the Cross, we may each feel how the message applies to our own life and know that Jesus is right beside us when we ask him for help. We ask you all to join us on this walk with Jesus to Calvary.
The journey may be long and tedious but our faith and participation is a rewarding one.
Everyone is welcome, but dress appropriately for the weather
conditions on that day.
NOTE:
When you arrive at St Dominics, please park your vehicle at the back of the church by the school (St Dominic's Elementary Catholic School). Volunteers will be there to assist you.
We will have three limousines ready to transport you to St Andrews Roman Catholic Church. Please note that the limousine service will be available to you between 7:45 am and 9:00am. If they are not there, it is only because they are providing shuttle service to other patrons.
