Members of the local Catholic community gathered to perform and witness the “Stations of the Cross” re-enactment at Laurel Park in Gainesville to celebrate Good Friday. The service is a tradition from St. Michael Catholic Church, 1440 Pearce Circle in Gainesville. Actors perform a retelling of the events leading up to, during and after the crucifixion of Jesus.
