Edmonton‛s 44th Annual Good Friday Outdoor Way of the Cross “ Journeying Home"
2024-03-29 10:00 - 13:30 | AB
Good Friday, March 29, 2024, 10 a.m. (99 Street and 107 Avenue, Edmonton AB)
The 44th 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, “Journeying Home,” is based on Isaiah 58:6-7: “Is not this the fast that I choose. . .to share your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless into your house.”
The walk will once again take place in person, along the streets of Edmonton’s inner city. It will include six 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. The 1.5-kilometre walk is reasonable for most ages and levels of fitness and ability. Free street parking is available near the start location. Light refreshments will be provided at Hope Mission (106 Avenue and 99 Street) after the final station.
For more information, contact Marguerite Watson at marguerite.watson@telus.net or visit the Way of the Cross website here.

“The Ukraine war is a scarring tragedy, with hundreds of thousands killed and wounded, famines worsened, nuclear warfare threatened, and diplomacy unraveled. How do we get to a place of hope from here? This collection of essays shines a light on the reasons for my hope that humanity can achieve a peaceful and just coexistence through the U.N.’s New Agenda for Peace and its blueprint for sustainable development.”
