Junior Aedan Heffernan (pictured) led a gathering honoring the Stations of the Cross for Lent across the Albertus Magnus campus Monday in New Haven.
The annual Catholic ritual is a 14-step mini-pilgrimage commemorating Jesus’s last day on earth as a man. Sister Anne Kilbride, assistant to the president for Dominican Mission, is pictured above at the Albertus “Be Peace, Live Peace” event, the stated goal of which was “to shine a light on suffering in the world as well as the peacemakers trying to make a difference.”
Faculty member Corey Brushett spoke for the first Station of the Cross, “Those who seek truth.”
Junior Caroline Cooke marked the second Station of the Cross honoring those who have died and those who are ill.

The 10th Station of the Cross (pictured above) focused on those who need peace.

The 14th Station of the Cross honored those who are immigrants, near a statue of Albert The Great, a medieval theologian after whom the college is named.
It appears that the actual Stations of the Cross have no relation to the actual stations. Rather, the meditations are on the social justice themes that leftist social justice warriors have infiltrated into the Novus Ordo Catholic Church. But let's drag out religion when it is needed to make a point. When the Church speaks out against abortion???? No feature stories in sight!
I'm all for prayer, peace, and the Stations but this is a bit of a stretch for the Dominicans of Albertus
