2025 Outdoor Way of the Cross
Good Friday, April 18, 2025 at 10am. Hosted at Sacred Heart Church (10821 96 Street). The 45th 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, “Walking Together in Hope,” is based on John 3:18: “Let us not love (only) with words or speech but with actions and in truth.”
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. For more information, click here.
