The Procession of Witness Stations of the Cross walk from Avenue Parade to the top of The Coppice in Accrington took place on Good Friday morning.
This inter-denominational prayer event involves pupil readers from Mount Carmel and St. Christopher’s, the two faith High Schools in the town. Prayers and short readings were read at each of the ten stations of the cross along the path to the summit of the Coppice in Accrington.
Around 250 people attended this event with Fr. Francis Wadsworth from St. Anne's and St. Joseph's Parishes and Fr. David Arnold from the Parish of the Good Shepherd who began and ended the service with prayers. At the summit all the pupil readers gathered together around the cross for the final reading and hymn.
Thank you to Head Boy and Head Girl Kieran and Edie along and senior prefects Eleanor, Emily and Holly who attended. Thanks also to Mount Carmel families and staff who supported the event.
