In honor of the Easter holiday and Holy Week leading up to it, the youth group of St. Wilfrid Catholic Church conducted their annual live performance of the Stations of the Cross, also known as the Living Stations. Every year, the Catholic youth of St. Wilfrid are assigned parts, get into costume and perform the Stations of the Cross, which consist of the fourteen stations of the events that transpired up to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, His death, and His rising from the dead.

The characters include the guards who walk him to the mountain where he is crucified, the weeping women who meet him along the way, his mother Mary and Mary Magdelene, Veronica, Simon, Pontius Pilate and his assistant, and Jesus. Four members of the youth group also did all of the singing for the performance this year, and one of the youth group members did the narrating to explain each station as it occurred.
