The St. Vincent Archabbey vocation office will sponsor "The Way of the Cross", a dramatic and musical presentation of the Stations of the Cross, March 6—9, 2008. Written by Brother Elijah Cirigliano, O.S.B., the show has been performed 19 times in New York and Connecticut, before making its Pennsylvania debut in February 2007.

Performances are set for 7:30 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, March 6 and 7, and for 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, March 8 and 9, and will take place in the Saint Vincent Theater in Carey Hall. Cost is $10 per adult and $5 per student, with all proceeds from the show going to support vocation programs at Saint Vincent. Discounts are available for groups of more than 100 people.

Prior to joining the Benedictine community at Saint Vincent, Br. Elijah worked as a Musical Director at St. Mary Parish in Katonah, New York. The pastor there encouraged Br. Elijah to write a musical piece that became The Way of the Cross. The 2006 performances will include Brother Elijah singing and playing the piano, and performances from professional and student actors and musicians.

Please call Fr. Fred at (724) 532-6655 to reserve a place for the performance.
