ALDEN —St. John the Baptist’s 14 Stations of the Cross with Pro-life Meditations have been installed in the parish cemetery. The lasered plaques rest on sturdy stands, built to last 100 years.
More than two years in the making, this project has come to fruition through the efforts of St. John’s 200 Club for Life and dedicated parishioners.
The stations were created and built by Alden Bulldog Manufacturing team – a group of Alden High School students with their engineering teachers’ guidance. It was spiritually guided by the Holy Spirit, St. John’s Works of Mercy Respect Life, and all parish ministries offering their support.
A dedication ceremony will take place Sunday, Aug. 3, after the 11 a.m. Mass, with Justin & Auguste Pautler, Don & Luanne Phillips, Al & Pam Turton serving as the installation team, with guidance from cemetery supervisor Phillip Walter and Father Lukasz Kopala.
All are welcome to come visit the 14 Stations of the Cross, pray the rosary, walk, reflect, and allow God’s mercy and love touch our hearts.
