What a spectacular place!!! If you are looking for a retreat or just some time to pray and reflect on what God has given us this is the place to go. There are acres of beautiful grounds that provide a meandering walk through each station of the cross that depict Jesus' walk to Calvary. You will find him on the cross and later laid in a beautiful tomb. You can continue your walk to the rosary and beatitudes. Each station has inlaid marble statues that are surrounded by beautiful brick work and stone. This gift from God was hand crafted by master builder and stone artisan Frederick Joseph Krupa. It was Father Joseph's dream, a Carmelite father in Bunnell, to build this beautiful sanctuary and he called on the talents of Frederick and other volunteers to dedicate their time to building this lasting and cherished connection to God.

My Husband and I walked through the most beautiful and Spirit filled gardens and statuary in the early morning. Stations of the cross, The ten commandments in many languages and the Holy Rosary of all the mysteries winding through shaded paths of quiet and tranquility. I recommend this as a wonderful way to spend time in meditation and prayer.
