There will be many public devotions and prayers on Good Friday – although I don’t know what will happen to my plans to attend the outdoor Stations/Procession celebrated by the Hispanic parish down the road, since they’re calling for snow, here…

But, taking a quick look…Communion and Liberation, for one, will be leading the Way of the Cross processions in many cities across the US, including Atlanta, Chicago, and NYC. A full list is here:

My reader from Phoenix writes, in addition, that as he did last year, Bishop Olmsted will be leading a Rosary  vigil from noon to 3 in front of Planned Parenthood’s corporate headquarters in Phoenix. Prayers will be offered, in addition to the constant prayers for victims of abortion and women and girls faced with the challenge of choosing life, for the former director of the PP clinic in Phoenix, a clinic which burned to the ground a while back, and a director who is in the final stages of cancer.
