2026 Edmonton Outdoor Way of the Cross

The 46th annual Outdoor Way of the Cross invites people to think about the relevance and importance of the Gospel message in our world today. This year’s theme, “Whatsoever You Do: Seeing, Naming and Protecting the Rights of People as Part of Creation,” is based on Matthew 25:40 “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”

The walk will take place along the streets of Edmonton’s inner city. It will include five stations, and each station will offer a reflection on an aspect of the overall theme that highlights both a challenge and a source of hope, woven together with music.

People of all faith traditions are welcome to attend. The 1.5-kilometre walk is reasonable for most ages and ability levels. Free street parking is available near the start location at Sacred Heart Church of the First Peoples (10821 96 Street). A light lunch (soup, bannock, coffee and tea) will be provided at Sacred Heart Church after the final station. Donations of non-perishable food items for local food banks are also welcome and can be dropped off at the start of the walk.
