Joining Jesus in the Stations

In March, the youngest students (kindergarten through grade 4) in the religious education program at St. Alphonsus Holy Name of Jesus Parish in Tupper Lake led church members through the Stations of The Cross, a Lenten tradition in the parish. Each child carried in a wooden cross that was almost as big as some of them. They placed that cross in a log holder, put flowers in front of the cross, and then knelt and told the story of what happened to Jesus at that particular portion of His walk to His crucifixion. Adults and classroom teachers leading the reenactment were Jill Bujold, Amy Arsenault, Lisa Jones, and Kathleen and Jeremiah Fletcher. Participants included (back row, from left) Jovie Zaidan, Millie Stuart, Alex Schaffer, Emery Stuart, John Fletcher, Calvin Hanson, (front row) Mia Bujold, Luke Fletcher, Peyton Lalonde and Everett Hansen.
