The cast and crew are busy at work practicing and “fine tuning” the play to be presented Palm Sunday weekend at St. Francis Parish.
This play is uniquely different in that it was written by a parishioner and is not a typical “passion play.” Well over 50 parishioners are involved in the production and many admit that the production has really “inspired” them. “Journey With Jesus to Calvary,” in its fourth year of being performed, was initially written for presentation to religious education students to highlight the events that occurred during Holy Week.
The main purpose of the performance is to introduce you to the “companions” that encountered Jesus along the road to Calvary. By meeting these companions, you will experience the feelings and emotions as you place yourself in their shoes. You will be surprised at how it will touch you.
Performances are Palm Sunday weekend at St. Francis Parish, north of Albany on Hwy. 238: Friday, March 30 at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, March 31 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, April 1 at 1:00 p.m. The cost is free – Jesus already paid the price.
Make plans now to celebrate Holy Week with your family in a “special” way! All are welcome.
