  • How long is the whole route?

    • The route is approximately ten miles from end to end. 

  • What is the route? 

    • We meet at Sacred Heart Church, 386 Hancock Street in North Quincy, at 9:00 a.m.  The first two Stations are there. Once those are done, we walk with the cross to St. Ann's at 757 Hancock St. in Wollaston (Quincy). We have the next two Stations there in the downstairs chapel. We then walk to St. Mary's in West Quincy, 115 Crescent St. From St. Mary's, we walk to St. John's at 44 School St. From St. John's, we walk to St. Joseph's at 550 Washington St. in Quincy Point. From there, we walk to the two churches of Holy Trinity Parish - first Our Lady of Good Counsel at 227 Sea Street and then Most Blessed Sacrament at 1000 Sea Street for the last two Stations. 

  • Do I have to walk the whole way? 

    • No - you are free to walk part of the way, maybe from one Church to the next, or you are free to walk none of the way. Some participate by simply meeting up with us at a Church and praying the two Stations at that Church. 

  • How will I get home? 

    • We arrange rides amongst walkers at the end of the route and also along the way.  

  • What are the Stations of the Cross? 

    • The Stations of the Cross are 14 events that proceed along with the walk of Jesus to his Crucifixion and that culminate in His sacrifice on the cross. On Good Friday, we walk with Him from Station to Station. 

  • Is this a fundraiser? 

    • No. We are not seeking money and we are not spending money. 

  • What if it rains? 

    • The event is rain or shine. Prayers for sunshine are gladly accepted!  

  • Is the Quincy Way of the Cross limited to Catholics only? 

    • The walk stops at all seven Quincy Catholic Churches, but we do not receive Communion or celebrate Mass or anything else that is strictly Catholic. In other words, anyone who wishes to walk may walk and participate fully inside of each of our Quincy Churches.  

  • What do you do when walking? 

    • There are rosaries prayed throughout. Others may sing hymns, and others may simply choose to walk the route in conversation or contemplation. We each have our own way of approaching the walk, but we as a group witness to motorists and passers-by who will see our large group and be reminded that Good Friday is here and that Jesus made the same fateful walk for us. We place our trust in Jesus, that he will make use of our visibility in the city.  

  • My question was not asked! ​
