Parishioners are invited to join our Nine Church Walk on Good Friday, April 7. We will visit churches rooted in New Orleans history and garnished with striking architecture and walk in pilgrimage imitating the way of the cross endured by Jesus. We will pray one or two of the Stations of the Cross at each church. After a few moments of prayer in the church, we will walk to the next station church.

The route begins at St. Stephen’s Church. The stations will begin promptly at 8:00 am, and we will leave St. Stephen's by 8:15 am. From there, the procession will follow the order of churches listed below.

St. Stephen's Church                                     1045 Napoleon Ave.

Although Good Friday is a fasting day, parishioners may bring a light snack and water for the walk. It is also recommended to check the weather forecast for the appropriate dress, noting that sunscreen or a hat may be helpful. Wear comfortable shoes. Parishioners should be prepared to walk approximately 5 miles through the morning. The walk ends at Immaculate Conception Jesuit Church around 11:30 am. Parishioners should arrange their transportation back to their vehicles after the walk.
