Good Friday Stations of the Cross 2023

The Procession of Witness Stations of the Cross walk from Avenue Parade to the top of The Coppice in Accrington took place on a beautiful Good Friday morning.

This inter-denominational prayer event is organised by the Knights of St. Columba Accrington Council 188 and pupils from Mount Carmel Roman Catholic and St. Christopher’s Church of England, the two faith High Schools in the town read prayers and short readings at each of the ten stations of the cross along the path to the summit of the Coppice in Accrington.

Over 150 people attended this event with Fr. Wadsworth from St. Anne's and St. Joseph's Parishes and Fr. David Arnold and Fr. Jordan McDermott from Accrington United Benefice beginning and ending the service with prayers. At the summit all the pupil readers gathered together around the cross for the final reading and hymn.

Thank you to Laiba and Harrison the exiting Head Boy and Girl and the newly appointed Head Boy Jayden and Head Girl Nicole along with senior prefect Cian and Declan who attended and to all the families and staff who supported the event.
