- LISA JOHNSTON | lisajohnston@archstl.org Tim Reardon and Len Kiessel carried torches while Joseph Dunne carried a cross at Our Lady of Providence’s outdoor Stations of the Cross. Beginning in front of church and following through the woodlands on the Parish grounds, the men’s Acts team members led the parish school of religion, current Annunciation and OLP men’s ACTs team and parishioners through the outdoor devotion. Many participated in an actual nailing of nails onto a large wooden cross to signify the crucifixion. The outdoor Stations of the Cross experience was established in 2008 to be a peaceful walk through nature while in prayer and meditation.

- Lisa Johnston | lisa@aeternus.com | Tiwtter: @aeternusphoto Pastor at Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, Father Robert Rosebrough raised his hands as he led those at a Life Teen mission at the church in prayer. A day of healing and prayer was held in Ferguson centering on the desire for peace and understanding after recent turmoil surrounding the events of the shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown on Aug. 9, 2014. The rosary and Divine Mercy Chaplet were prayed in Wabash Park by about 100 and later some 275 were a part of a LifeTeen XLT (stands for Exalt) at Blessed Teresa of Calcutta Parish. The event will featured Catholic musician Ike Ndolo and Emily Wilson.
For over a dozen years I have been using my cameras to document the faith life of the people in the Archdiocese of St. Louis. This work includes documenting sacramental life but also the works of generosity, kindness, and love that are the fruit of that life. From big events like Pope Francis’ trip to the United States in 2015 to private moments in monastic life, and simple moments of prayer I hope to be invisible with my camera and continue to pray to Jesus when He wants me to click the shutter button.
