Come and view our beautiful outdoor Stations of the Cross; a very picturesque setting on Iron Lake, behind our historical church. Most of the original stations, built between 1932 and 1936, are still standing. All of the orignal mosaic tiles still exist. Efforts are being made to maintain what we have and to rebuild the few stations that needed to be replaced with timber framing for safety purposes. Donations would be gratefuly accepted.
