At St. John Mary Vianney Seminary College, Inc., seminarians embark on an annual tradition known as the Way of the Cross—a profound spiritual practice that holds deep significance in their formation journey. This devotional exercise, comprising fourteen stations commemorating Jesus Christ’s final steps to Calvary, serves as a cornerstone of their faith development.
For these seminarians, the Way of the Cross is more than a ritual; it is a transformative experience that fosters spiritual reflection, personal growth, and solidarity with the suffering. As they walk the path marked by Jesus’ journey of sacrifice and compassion, they engage in profound contemplation of their own lives and vocations. Through this introspection, they are strengthened in their resolve to follow Christ and serve others with love and humility.
