"We Watched Him Die" Performance
This powerful play depicts the strengths and weaknesses, the fears and hopes of those who witnessed the death of our Lord. Held each year on Passion (Palm) Sunday and Good Friday, members of "Saint Patrick Players" and the "Saint Patrick Choir" portray Mary the mother of Jesus, Peter, Nicodemus, Mary of Magdala, and Judas to name a few. You will never look at Good Friday and Easter the same.
