Southbury Interfaith Good Friday Faith Walk

Southbury – Good Friday will once again be celebrated in a special way in Southbury! The Youth Groups of Sacred Heart, St. James, and United Church of Christ, will dramatize Jesus’ walk to Calvary. The Stations of the Cross will begin at St. James Lutheran Church at 10:00 AM, and several stops will be made along the way with the walk ending at Sacred Heart. All who participate will reflect on the reenactments offered by the youth of each church, who will be dressed in costume.

All are invited to join the parishioners of the Southbury churches to pray and reflect on Jesus’ walk to Calvary. The walk will begin with the Condemnation of Jesus’ at St. James and after several stops, the Faith Walk will end with the Crucifixion of Jesus on the great lawn of Sacred Heart Church.

If you are bringing young children, we suggest that you come with wagons or a stroller. A shuttle bus will leave Sacred Heart parking lot to bring participants to St. James Church. The shuttle bus service will begin at 9:00 AM and will run until 9:50 AM. After 9:50 AM transportation will no longer be provided to St. James Church. If you would like to use this service, park your car at the Sacred Heart parking lot and board the bus that will transport you back in time to the late 20’s AD to prayerfully reflect on the First Good Friday, 2,000 years ago. This is a reflection that your family will never forget!
