St. Matthew’s Church in Voorheesville, welcomes the IHC Mystery Players who will present the “The Way of the Cross” on Friday, March 3, 2023 at 7:30 pm. The Immaculate Heart Central High School (IHC) Mystery Players is comprised of High School Students who brings the Stations of the Cross to a modern level through the use of special lighting, music, pantomime and paraliturgical readings, recreating the Paschal Mystery in a moving dramatic presentation. The IHC Mystery Players have ministered extensively throughout New York State, as well as in Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Canada. We strongly encourage everyone to attend this unique and powerful Lenten prayer experience. This year, St. Matthew’s is the only local location for this Lenten Presentation that you won’t want to miss. Please be advised, small children may be frightened due to the nature of the play.
