Way of the Cross
On Good Friday, March 29, 2024, St. Paul's College in collaboration with the Archdiocese of Winnipeg held the 35th Way of the Cross event at Christ the King Chapel, St. Paul's College.
The initiative was led by the Office of Youth and Young Adults and was a powerful experience for all participants.
