The Labyrinth

a bench sits at the center of a labyrinth, which is constructed of brick and mulch on the grassy ground — The labyrinth at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods

As a spiritual seeker you may like to explore our labyrinth. The labyrinth represents a journey, a pilgrimage, a conscious taking of time to seek God. At first glance you might think that a labyrinth is a maze of winding paths. In reality, a labyrinth is a single path with one opening serving as both beginning and end. There are no “dead ends,” and there is no way to be lost. Your walk in the labyrinth should be a prayerful and meditative journey.
