Archbishop Anne Germond is hosting several events during this Holy Week when we cannot personally worship in our church buildings.

Stations of the Cross:  https://www.dioceseofalgoma.com/2020/04/03/the-stations-of-the-cross-during-covid-19/

The number of stations, which at first varied widely, finally became fixed at fourteen.  Of these, eight are based directly on events recorded in the Gospels. The remaining six (numbers 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, & 13) are based on inferences from the Gospel account or from pious legend. If desired, these six stations may be omitted, and some churches
choose to do so.

The Stations of the Cross is appropriate either as a public service or private devotion (the latter of which lends itself
well to this time of isolation), particularly on the Fridays of Lent.  Some will wish to use this devotion during Holy
Week.  However, it should not be used on Maundy Thursday or Holy Saturday, and should never displace or take
precedence over the primary rite of Good Friday, The Celebration of the Lord’s Passion.

The first listed on the web address above will be used by Archbishop Anne for her live-stream on Monday of Holy Week, 5:00 p.m.
