We are thrilled to announce the installation of the new frames for our Stations of the Cross, a significant enhancement to our worship space that invites deeper reflection and reverence. This project has been undertaken with the utmost care to enrich our communal and individual spiritual journeys, particularly as we contemplate the upcoming Passion of Christ on Good Friday. This Beautifully powerful addition was made possible by the generous gift of an anonymous donor.
Our new stations are crafted from large corten steel panels, each adorned with the Jerusalem Cross at the top and the Roman numeral of the station it represents. This material choice is not arbitrary; corten steel, with its distinctive, irregular rusty finish, is used throughout our church — echoing the altars in both the chapel and our main sanctuary, the processional crosses, many of our statues, the Chrismaria, and the railings to the altar. This thematic consistency adds a layer of gravitas and contemplation to our sacred space.
The rustic finish of the corten steel panels was carefully chosen by a firm of architects and ratified by the Office of Worship of the Archdiocese of Miami. The finish is particularly symbolic, helping us to meditate on the Passion and suffering of Christ. It is a physical representation of the passage of time and the enduring nature of our faith through the trials and tribulations of life. These new Stations of the Cross serve as a poignant reminder of Christ’s call to each of us to bear our crosses and follow Him through our own journeys of passion and sacrifice.
We hope that these new installations will aid our parish community in entering more deeply into the scenes of our Lord's Passion. May they serve as a constant invitation to reflect on the profound love Christ has for us, encouraging us to carry our crosses with faith and courage.
Please join us in welcoming and embracing this meaningful addition to our church. May they inspire us all to walk closer with Christ, especially during this season of lent and Holy Week.
