You are invited to experience your own walk with Christ and spend a short time in personal reflection and prayer.

French playwright Henri Gheon (1875-1944) originally wrote the drama, based on the Stations of the Cross, for production at the Benedictine Abbey in Tancremont, Belgium, in 1932. The Oxford Companion to the Theatre states that “Gheon’s plays combine fine poetry and an excellent theatrical sense with great simplicity and religious feeling.” The play is performed by four players who speak for the watchers and characters in the Passion. By words and gestures the Passion story is told.

This production of ‘The Way of the Cross,’ was first performed in Lent 2017 in Our Lady of the Rosary Chapel in the Dominican Priory at Providence College and is composed of Providence College alumni and faculty. The production is directed by Father Matthew Powell, O.P., and Prof. David M. Cabral created the costumes. The cast consists of Michael Joseph, Kate Joseph (husband & wife), Kevin Sullivan and Kayley Sullivan (father & daughter). Dan Marella will accompany the performance in playing the clarinet. 

The performance will last approximately 45 minutes and admission is free. The complete schedule of performances in our diocese just below:
