On Friday, April 8, at 1 p.m., students from Corpus Christi Classical Academy led the Stations of the Cross in St. Michael Cemetery under overcast skies.

By 1:10 p.m., heavy sleet started falling. Sleet turned to rain, but all persevered through what Archbishop Shelton J. Fabre described as an afternoon he’ll never forget.
