Alumni, students, parents, and friends of Jesuit reflected on the Stations of the Cross as part of the annual Nine Churches Walk on Good Friday. Held this year on April 18, the walk featured a new route and several new churches.

The solemn pilgrimage began at St. Mary’s Assumption Church and wrapped up at Immaculate Conception Church. The pilgrims visited nine historic churches in the Archdiocese of New Orleans while reflecting on Our Lord’s passion and death. As he has done for several years, Brandon Briscoe ’98 helped lead the group and provided tidbits of information about each of the churches visited along the way.
