Absolutely beautiful and serene
What a gift to be able to take a walk with Jesus on the way to his crucifixion and death. Be silent as you walk and hear Jesus tell you how much he loves you.
Open to all. Very nice half-mile paved walk to see the 12 Stations of the Cross statues (each about 10’ x 8’!) set amidst a serene natural setting. The caretakers transport you first from the parking lot to the gift shop (where you pick up audio devices and pay a suggested donation), then to the Cloisters. Not many or any benches along the way so may not be suitable for those with walking difficulties.
A must-visit place for Catholics. Amazing stations of the cross and chapel. Retreats are available year round. The gift shop has one of a kind rosaries and merchandise by local artisans.
Peaceful, contemplative, moving, challenging retreat experience.
The Stations of the Cross are inspiring--when visiting, be sure to make the $10 donation for the audio tour, which enhances the experience.
