Some of the staff at the Prairie View Healthcare Center (PVHC) put together an Easter egg hunt for entertainment for both the young and the young-at-heart age groups. While the children, ages birth to eight years old ran all over the back yard of the PVHC, some of the residents watched them through the picture windows of the activities room. It was fun for everyone involved as the weather turned out to be beautiful for the event.

Every year, the St. Wilfrid Youth Group members perform the Stations of the Cross. They all play a part in the 14 stations of Jesus’ last days on Earth leading up to and including his crucifixion and burial in the tomb. The kids play the parts of the characters, but some of them are in charge of the music, one of them is a narrator, and a few of them are responsible for the lighting. It is a total group effort, and they are directed by their youth group advisor, Paula Linke.
