St. Michael's in Orland Park resurrects Passion Play
St. Michael Parish in Orland Park hosted its first Passion Play on Palm Sunday, April 10, 2022 since the start of the pandemic. Youth of the parish rehearsed during Lent and performed the play in the place of the Gospel to a packed congregation. It’s one of many wonderful parish traditions that are back post-COVID-19.
