Stations of the Cross

The mosaic stations of the cross were located in the warehouse of a church salvage company in Pennsylvania and restored and installed by the Rattigan Schottler Company.

Austere Beauty

The simple, mosaic stations in the Lower Church stand starkly against the plain wall of the ambulatory providing a reminder of the austere suffering of Jesus on his way to the hill of redemption. The Stations of the Cross are gifts of the Verranault family and Families of the OLR School.

Walking in the Way of the Cross

The open space of the ambulatory, which means “walkway,” provides room for small groups to walk in the way of the cross and so to “take up their cross and follow Jesus”
