My good friends Jola and Carol recently made the short pilgrimage to the shrine, and they were impressed and very inspired by what they found there.
From the official website:
The Shrine of Christ’s Passion is an interactive half-mile winding pathway that begins with the Last Supper and Garden of Gethsemane. You then journey through the Passion of Christ as depicted in the Stations of the Cross. |

- The Journey consists of 40 life size bronze statues
- Each setting has a listening station featuring the voice of veteran broadcaster Bill Kurtis. Push the button to hear a description of the scene along with a corresponding prayer
- Background music plays throughout your journey on 180 speakers
- The pathway is illuminated for early evening use
- The pathway will be open year round- weather permitting
- Over 1000 trees and bushes were planted on the site
- More than 3000 yards of stamped concrete were poured
- 80 semis of boulders were trucked in from central Wisconsin
- Parking for 75 cars and 8 tour buses
- Over 50 volunteers on staff for tour assistance
- Site construction began in 2001
