ViaCrucis: La Via Dolorosa del Migrante, March 12

March 5, 2021

Join us in praying with the Stations of the Cross through the lens of the migrant experience. According to tradition “La Via Dolorosa” in Jerusalem is the place where Jesus took his last steps towards Mt. Calvary or “El Calvario.” Reliving this Way of the Cross is a way of entering more deeply into the love of Christ and the Cross that he carried to achieve our redemption.  We also compare these stages of Jesus’ life with the plight of the people who migrate, who leave behind everything to pursue a dream, and allow us to understand that, as a living church, we have much to do.  The commandment of love becomes a command and action. The time to do the right thing is now because there is no other time. 

This ViaCrucis will be offered in the Chapel of Christ the Teacher at 4 p.m. on Friday, March 12 and will be streamed at the same time on the Campus Ministry YouTube.

Reach out to Fr. Jim Gallagher, C.S.C., Campus Ministry, at gallaghe@up.edu for more information.

St. Joseph’s Feast Day, March 19

March 3, 2021

As the protector of families and patron of the Universal Church, St. Joseph is an important saint in difficult times. This is all the more true for us with Pope Francis declaring this the Year of St. Joseph and the fact that he is the patron saint of the Holy Cross brothers.  

Join Campus Ministry in drawing close to St. Joseph by way of a novena (nine days of prayer) leading up to the celebration of St. Joseph’s feast day at 5 p.m. Mass in the Chapel of Christ the Teacher on Friday, March 19. The text of the novena can be found here. Students, Faculty and Staff are welcome to join for the Mass on March 19 by coming in person or streaming it on the Campus Ministry YouTube Channel.

Contact Fr. Jim Gallagher, C.S.C., Campus Ministry, at gallaghe@up.edu for more information.
