Stations of the Cross – Lent 2024
Catholic Cemeteries of Long Island has a long tradition of hosting Stations of the Cross prayer services during Lent. This year, in addition to our annual Good Friday prayer service at Cemetery of the Holy Rood, we will be hosting a Stations of the Cross service on the first Friday of Lent in our new chapel at Queen of Peace Cemetery. Families unable to join us on either of those dates may participate in a self-directed Stations of the Cross prayer service at Cemetery of the Holy Rood or Queen of Peace Cemetery.
We welcome all families to prayerfully experience the Stations of the Cross with us this Lent. Please see below for details on each of the available offerings. For more information, please visit CCLongIsland.org/stations-of-the-cross.
