Coming into its 25th year, the event held on Good Friday evening draws a crowd each year, with 500 people expected to attend.
The church’s re-enactment of the Stations of the Cross follows Jesus’s condemnation and crucifixion with a local touch.
Each year director Les Billings rewrites the adaptation to include context of real-life issues.

Parish priest Joe Taylor said this year’s re-enactment would include the trials and tribulations of COVID-19 and what the community had been through.
Following several postponements due to COVID-19, he said the night would be even more special.
“It’s a reflection on the suffering and death of Jesus and we connect that to our own lives,” he said.
“We’ve just missed it for so long, communities have been broken and divided and now it’s a great chance to be able to come back and and see what’s happening.
“It’s just a lovely time to take a bit of time for yourself and think and reflect, it’s magnificent — all are most welcome to come, it’ll be spectacular as always.”
