Assuming we're within reasonableness, you do what you need to do to make good spiritual things happen when and where they need to. Thanks for your comments, Mark. I'd assume if they could have been put there and it was a parish priority, it would have been done. If a parish puts stations in a hallway, that tells me devotion to the Way of the Cross is a low priority. That's unfortunate, but it's an undeniable fact in many places.
People have the knowledge, but lack the motivation, opportunity, or something else.
When they feel ownership, they will invest time and effort into making it work. They will bring their children and encourage them. The tradition will be passed on. We don't need that. However, you need more than a warm body standing in front of a group of people saying the correct words.
