Walk the Stations of the Cross at St. Gabriel Church
The Stations of the Cross depict 14 scenes from the day Jesus died, on his way to the Cross. As we reflect on these scenes, we make a prayerful pilgrimage and are invited to grow closer to our Lord. Meditations are available above, on the Hallow app, and many other places online.
OUTDOORS
A beautiful lighted gravel pathway (1/3 mile) leads the way past the 14 outdoor Stations of the Cross and the 20 mysteries of the Rosary. Start by the Marian Grotto in the school parking lot.

About our Outdoor Stations of the Cross Garden
-
On our church campus, a lighted gravel pathway (1/3 mile) now leads the way past the 14 outdoor Stations of the Cross and the 20 mysteries of the Rosary.
The pathway and a greenspace, are located behind the preschool playground and Marian Grotto – at the far end of the school parking lot. All are invited to walk the pathway, to pray, and to enjoy the greenspace.The Stations of the Cross and Rosary Walk were provided through generous gifts from several parish families in early 2022 and dedicated on March 26, 2022 in loving memory of Ale Skinkle – parishioner, loving daughter, wife, mother and friend, St. Gabriel School teacher, and Belmont Abbey alumna. Her deep and joyful faith – demonstrated so powerfully through her long battle with cancer – brought many in our parish and school closer to Jesus and our Blessed Mother. Abbot Placid Solari of Belmont Abbey carried out the dedication.
