Where: St. James Catholic Church - 820 North Arlington Heights Road, Arlington Heights, IL

From the organizer: “The OLA fire took the lives of 92 children and three sisters, and shattered countless others. The suffering and loss of those who experienced that event is not unlike the way of pain that Jesus traveled. These stations match the experience of different individuals with the steps that Jesus took on his way to crucifixion.”
