SH youth group reenacts Passion Play during Way of the Cross

KOTA KINABALU – Sacred Heart BM youth group Efata reenacted Passion Play during the combined Way of the Cross on the grounds of Sacred Heart Cathedral here on Good Friday, 14 Apr 2017.

Eighteen members took part in the play directed by Johnny Gom with Ferry Evaritus as Jesus and
Esther Hee as Mary.

The parish youth groups (English, Chinese and BM) take turns to organise the Passion Play annually.  Last year’s play was staged by the Chinese youth group.

Archbishop John Wong led the opening prayer of the devotion while the 14 stations were read consecutively in English, BM and Chinese in the presence of around 2000 faithful.

Abp Wong also led the 15th station (Resurrection) before the final prayers for the pope’s intentions and imparting his blessing.

In his closing remarks the prelate reminded those present to come early for the Good Friday service either at 3 pm (English) or 6 pm (BM).
