The Stations of the Cross, in the form adopted by Pope John Paul II, will be prayed in English this Friday, April 11, and every Friday of Lent, immediately following the 5:30pm Mass. Join us afterwards for a Simple Lenten Meal in the North Conference Room—this Friday, to benefit the many ministries of St. Matthew's Social Justice and Community Services program. All are welcome for all or any part of this evening of prayer, fellowship and almsgiving.

Stations of the Cross (Via Crucis)

The Via Crucis is a journey made in the Holy Spirit, that divine fire that burned in the heart of Jesus (cf Lk 1: 49-50) and brought him to Calvary. The Stations of the Cross, in the form adopted by Pope John Paul II, will be prayed in English on Fridays at 6pm and in Spanish on Sundays at 2:15pm throughout Lent and on Good Friday, April 18. Please join us for this beautiful devotion, which is particularly fitting for Lent. 

Simple Lenten Meals

We serve Simple Lenten Meals in the North Conference Room on the Friday evenings of Lent, following the 6pm Stations of the Cross. Join us for the sustenance of food and fellowship!  Each Friday we collect donations to benefit a different community-based organization in Washington, DC .
