Dramatic Reading

A Dramatic Reading of The Passion of Our Lord -
Good Friday Mass, March 21st

Take part in the tradition of the Good Friday Mass by becoming a reader for the dramatic reading of the Passion. Bring this powerful and history changing story to life in a prayerful way. This live and dramatic presentation is open to all high school aged youth in grades 9-12 at St. Francis. No drama experience is needed, just a committed and willing heart to work and share with our church community. Rehearsals begin February 26th from 7:00 – 9:00 in the church. Please contact Marie at 703.221.4978 or mariem@stfrncis.org to sign-up or with questions.




Living Stations

A Dramatic Portrayal of the Stations of the Cross - March 14th

Where would the passion of our Lord be without Pontius Pilate, the guards, Veronica, Mary, Simon, and Jesus himself? And where would the St. Francis of Assisi CYM presentation of The Living Stations be without you? This live, dramatic depiction of the Stations of the Cross is both prayerful and powerful and all high school aged youth in grades 9-12 are invited to participate. There are no lines to memorize, but there are roles to act out. Everyone participating is guaranteed a part.

Rehearsals begin February 23rd in the church. Please contact Marie at 703.221.4978 or mariem@stfrncis.org to sign-up or with questions.
