Good Friday Peace Pilgrimage

Good Friday Peace Pilgrimage

Join Benedictines for Peace on Friday, April 18 at 11 a.m. for the 45th annual Good Friday Pilgrimage for Peace, praying the Stations of the Cross as we process through the streets of downtown Erie. This year's theme is "The Way of the Cross: The Way of the Migrant." Following the 9:00 a.m. Tenebrae service, a bus will leave Mount Saint Benedict Monastery at 10:30 a.m. and the first station will be prayed at 11 a.m. at St. Peter Cathedral, 10th and Sassafras Streets in Erie. A bus will be available for those who need to ride all or part of the walk and it will return to 10th and Sassafras at the end of the pilgrimage for those parked at the Cathedral. It will then go to Mount Saint Benedict for the 3:00 p.m. Good Friday service. A simple soup lunch will be served at the monastery for those who return to the monastery after the pilgrimage.
