The Labyrinth of St. Charles


On Pentecost, 1995, the Junior High Group along with interested parents, constructed and unveiled the St. Charles Labyrinth, modeled after the one in Chartres Cathedral in France and Grace (Episcopal) cathedral in San Francisco. Located east of Ludtke Hall, the Labyrinth is a medieval tool for centering and meditating.

The dedication and blessing ceremony was held by Fr. Steve Winsett. News about the Labyrinth project was published by area newspapers.

In 1997 this permanent outdoor labyrinth, located behind the church, was dedicated by Fr. Francois Legaux, Dean of Chartres Cathedral, France and Honorary Dean of Grace Cathedral, San Francisco. This outdoor labyrinth is available for anyone to walk at any time (weather permitting) and is considered a spiritual outreach tool for the church.
