A cool foggy morning with a skiff of snow on the streets greeted a small group of about 75 people who participated in the annual Good Friday Prayer Walk with the cross through the streets of Sylvan Lake. The crowd was smaller than in past years, possibly because of the weather.
“Perhaps it’s fitting that the day is a little more sombre,” said Dale Plante while addressing the crowd at the beginning of the walk.
The group stopped at several stations to pray for various sectors of the community.
The walk, a time of reflection, proceeds from Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Church north on 50th Street to Lakeshore Drive, east to 46th Street, south to 49th Avenue, east to 43rd Street, then west on 48th Avenue before turning on 44th Street and ending at Sylvan Lake Alliance Community Church where an inter-denominational service was held by Sylvan Lake Ministerial Association.
