For Holy Week, we are going to create a special Stations of the Cross website. Each station will be designed by a child in our diocese. If you would like to participate, draw, colour,  paint a picture or create a three dimensional scene of one of the stations. Return your completed station or a quality photo of your station to Kim at 220 Montreal Road, Cornwall, ON, K6H 1B4 or to kwalsh@alexandria-cornwall.ca before March 25, 2010. We would like to have this project online in time for Holy Week.
