On Sunday, March 26, 2017, members of the Anna Hurban Chicago District continued their annual tradition of gathering as a District for Lent by attending a presentation of the Passion of Christ at Sacred Heart Church in Palos Hills, Illinois. The presentation was performed by Wieczernik, a religious group of semi-professional and professional actors who annually perform this play at a variety of churches throughout the Chicagoland area.
The afternoon performance was intense and inspirational as the cast recounted the Passion of Christ where the entire church served as the stage for this extraordinary cast of performers while the audience sat in the church’s pews. All who attended were moved by both the story and the performance.
The Wieczernik troupe schedules this performance annually at several churches throughout the area during Lent, with performances given in both English and Polish. Anna Hurban Chicago District members in attendance were inspired by the performance and stated that they look forward to making this event an annual tradition for Lent.
