Stations of the Cross

---

Located within the church are fourteen plaster reliefs depicting the fourteen traditional Stations of the Cross. These representations of the Via Crucis date from when the current Church was built in 1927. Under each relief is brass plaque giving a description of the station in Polish.

The object of the Stations is to help the faithful to make in spirit, as it were, a pilgrimage to the chief scenes of Christ's sufferings and death, and this has become one of the most popular of Catholic devotions.

St Florian Parish offers this devotion to the faithful on Fridays during Lent.
