 Really made you feel like you were there for the passion, crucifixion, and ascension. Very nicely presented with great stage props and special effects. 👍🏻 Job well done for the stage actors, for singers and for the director. 👍🏻 Very nice!

 Thoroughly enjoyed the play

 What a beautiful church! I love Padre Pio, and seeing the various relics was so very special. It was touching to see them. - Michelle Crognale Parishioner of Our Lady of Grace Church in Aurora

 Everyone was so welcoming and well organized!

 It was wonderful!!

 It was well organized. My online prepaid tickets scanned as invalid, but confirmation of validity with the paper copy they had.

 Amazing play. Enjoyed every minute. The actors were very professional. The play was very well directed. The music was great.

 Amazing display of talent - everyone worked hard and it was a great show!

 Excellent

 Beautifully done with a lot of hard work put in.

 It was a beautiful experience, but it was hard to hear some of the dialogue. We spent so much money on the church, but we don’t have a great audio system. I mentioned this already a few times about Sunday masses I can’t hear masses clearly and it’s frustrating. Our system needs fixing or upgrading. There needs to be more of a surround sound so we can hear mass from wherever we sit. This was my 1st event and I plan to return next year, but I hope my concern is considered.

 Excellent!!!

 When you think that nothing can compare to last year’s This is Jesus, along comes, We Believe. What is different and which one in better. The only thing I can think of is the Parishoners are gaining more confidence in their stage performance. The writing is always professional, the music can only be compared to something you would see in a Musical in Toronto. The costumes, perfect, Jesus’ role, perfect, music, perfect, set decorations perfect. 3 shows next

 Absolutely loved it! Thank you to everyone for putting this amazing project together! FANTASTIC!

 Everything was great, and I appreciate all the time and talent and hard work from so many members and volunteers involved. Perhaps less musical solos - the male singer has an incredible voice, but the play is about Jesus, and sometimes it felt like a “show”/concert. (Also, I don’t think he needed to sing on stage - it felt awkward - maybe one song is ok, but not two). The choir was beautiful as collective singing. Jesus and the cast were incredible!

 This is my third year attending and it was great like the past two! Beautiful! Dhanell has a beautiful voice as does the rest of the choir! Li

 The passion play was authentic, emotional and entertaining. The “artists”were amazing. We have lots of talent at St Padre Pio. Excellent 🤩👍 Three exceptional plays - all different and yet all fabulous performances. Worth attending the 3 separate years. 🙏 A warm Thank You to all participants and their incredible efforts - lovely 🥰

 First time to witness in person, Kudos to the actors and directors. It's good that they use only sound effects and didn't show how Jesus was beaten to death. But, it didn't lessen the aches I felt. Congratulations.

 The musical performance was outstanding. A very moving and emotional experience. The entire cast was amazing; professional performances from everyone! Special recognition to Liana for directing such a powerful performance and to Darnell for yet another powerful musical performance and directing. Amazing costumes and props added to the overall performance! Bravo to everyone involved. Looking forward to next year!

 This production was beyond anything I ever imagined. The cast, choir/band/musicians, and crew members put on an incredible show. It was powerful and moving from start to finish. I am so glad I was able to be a part of such a magical performance and able to prepare my heart for Holy Week in just the best way possible. Bravo to everyone involved. Just blown away.

 Loved everything about the play. God bless all involved with the play🙏🙏

 Fantastic! It's what brought me back to this year's performance.

 I LOVED the Passion Play, however there are a few things I'd like to mention. I heard alot of people saying that the play was too long - especially for a Sunday night where people have to work the next day. I found that the actors voices were not loud enough ( even with their mics ) The singers & band were INCREDIBLE but I found that the music was too loud and over powered the actors voices. The row in front of me were complaining tha they could not hear the actors speak.

 My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the play, and we were very impressed by the entire production. The actors were excellent. And the music and singing, wow! I'm grateful my family and I had the chance to see this production of the most amazing story ever told. The intermisison, which was supposed to be 20 minutes, was more like 35 minutes or so. I was hoping an announcement would have been made to make people return to their seats on time. :)

 Great performance by all!

 Loved it, you were all amazing God bless! Lina

 An amazing professorially made production, I felt like an experience on Broadway!

 An amazing show! A must see. Will come again next year!!

 It was nice. A bit too long, especially for the children. Would have been nicer if the play didn’t add narratives that aren’t in the Bible. I know there was a disclaimer at the beginning, but I don’t think that God’s Word needs to be embellished. His Word, the way it’s recorded in the Bible should be shared.

 Remarkable Professional performance. Simple amazing - touched our hearts profoundly. Thank you to all the talented volunteers. Cheers ❤️🙏

 Bravo! Bravo!!! Encore!!! 🙌👏

 Overall it was lovely, however there were times that the music, was to loud, that one could not hear the dialog being spoken by the actors.

 A wonderful evening, so well organized, you can see the passion that went into it, would have loved more singing and solos. I applaud all involved to put on such a beautiful performance.

 The musical “This is Jesus” was truly an inspirational performance with outstanding talent showcased by everyone involved. We were exceptionally impressed with the band, particularly Darnell and the violinist. The role of Jesus was beautifully portrayed, moving us to tears during the passion scenes. Congratulations to everyone involved in this amazing production, special thanks to the director Liane.

 Very good

 It was an excellent performance! We enjoyed it so much! Thank you for all your hard work. Last night was a beautiful way to begin Holy Week.

 Outstanding GreatJob by everyone

 Hello … Both plays were in their own way extremely powerful performances. The acting given the crew involved was amazing - professional level. And the music is always breath taking … excellent. Thank you to all the volunteers for the phenomenal spiritual experience they promoted. What a rewarding experience. I literally cried at the end of the “This is Jesus” as the emotions were just as strong as when I watched the movie The Passion … Mel Gibson. Thank you and G

 Loved it ! Awesome group! Great job ! Lina Tolone

 I would definitely attend another performance showcased by this group! An extreme amount of effort went into presenting this performance and it really showed in every aspect of the show! Loved it 👍

 It was absolutely amazing 🤩 very professionally done...even better than last year! Well done Liana and Darnell and team!

 Lead Me To The Cross was a beautiful production and adaptation of the Passion of Jesus Christ. The dedication and commitment from the entire cast, the musicians, the crew and other members who were assisting during the performance was outstanding. This was a wonderful community event and an amazing way to begin the Holy Week celebrations. Thank you to all!

 A wonderful community event!

 The. Play was great, me and my mom really enjoyed it. We got there 20 uminutes to 7 and we're told we. Couldn't come in until 7,my mom has a hard time walking,and parking lot was full of snow so I wanted to drop her off,then go back, but because we couldn't come in,we just sat in the car for 20minutes.WHAT WOULD'VE BEEN THE HARM IN LETTING US IN A LITTLE. BIT EARLY???? ITS THE HOUSE OF GOD WE WOULD'VE SAT QUIETLY AND PRAYED

 Well done!

 amazing!!!!

 Amazing production!!! Congrats to all the performers and everyone who worked behind the scenes as well - truly a memorable evening!!

 It should be on Broadway, King Street, etc.

 I have one word for it...AMAZING!!! it was such a beautiful and emotional evening. The music just pulled at my heart strings and brought a constant flow of tears to my eyes all evening long. The musical director who sang Our Father, left me speechless! The way in which the play opened up with all those questions, "Jesus are you there?", "Jesus can you hear me?", etc., hit home for me as well. Lastly, the cast was great. Jesus & Judas were amongst my favourite. Bra

 Everyone did amazing!

 Great but to long

 The cast and crew, as well as the musicians, did a wonderful job of capturing the significance and intensity of each scene. Bravo!

 The music especially was beautiful. The singing of the "Our Father" was uplifting and glorious. The actors certainly worked hard at presenting their roles. Thank you for your dedication to our faith.
