Christ the King Church is pleased to offer The Stations of the Cross every Friday at 6PM during Lent, in the Sanctuary.
The Stations of the Cross, also known as the Way of the Cross or Via Crucis, is a Christian devotion that commemorates the events of Jesus Christ’s Passion; his suffering, death, and burial. Each station typically involves a prayer, meditation, or reflection on the suffering and sacrifice of Jesus, often accompanied by images or other art representing the event.
The Stations of the Cross is typically observed during the season of Lent, especially on Fridays, and culminates on Good Friday, where the passion of Christ is remembered and celebrated. This devotion is considered a way for Christians to deepen their faith and understanding of the sacrifice of Jesus, and to unite their own sufferings and struggles with his, ultimately leading to a greater appreciation for the resurrection and the hope of eternal life.

Lent Begins with Two Ash Wednesday Services Wednesday, March 5, 2025
Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of Lent: a time of repentance, fasting, and prayer, in preparation for the great feast of the resurrection. Because it is the beginning of a penitential season, there will be limited music in the service. The services will last about an hour.
The season of Lent began in the early days of the Church as a time of preparation for those seeking to be baptized at the Easter Vigil. The forty days refer to our Lord’s time of fasting in the wilderness; and since Sundays are never fast days, Ash Wednesday is the beginning of the Lenten Fast. Learn more below.

Shrove Tuesday Pancake Dinner Tuesday, March 4, 2025
Shrove Tuesday, also known as Pancake Day or Fat Tuesday, is the day before Ash Wednesday, which kicks off Lent in the Christian calendar. It’s a day rooted in preparing for the 40 days of fasting and penance leading up to Easter. The term “shrove” comes from the old English word “shrive,” meaning to confess one’s sins, highlighting its original purpose as a time for spiritual cleansing. Traditionally, it was also a practical moment to use up rich ingredients like eggs, milk, and sugar, foods often restricted during Lent, before the season of austerity began. Pancakes became a popular choice in many places because they’re simple to make and effectively clear out those pantry staples. Learn more below.
