Students to perform 'Living Stations of the Cross'

"Living Stations of the Cross" will be presented March 25 and April 1 at 8:00 p.m. at St. Eulalia Catholic Church in Coudersport.

Presented by the St. Eulalia Youth Group, the program is a depiction of final hours of Jesus as He carried the cross to Calvary. It's a prayerful reflection of the suffering of Jesus, made relevant to present-day society.

This is achieved by allowing the students to actually become the players in the presentation, using thoughtprovoking text, including scripture readings, and dialogue which attempts to draw the meaning of the stations into daily life.

The action is set against a backdrop of costuming, scenery, contemporary music, and special lighting effects.

This is the second year that the Youth Group, consisting of students in grades seven through 12, has presented this program.

After each performance, audience members are invited to a reception for refreshments in the Parish Center. The performance is approximately one hour long. There will be a free will offering to support Coudersport Area Ministerium Emergency Fund.
