Fall Semester
(Week before the Spiritual Deepening Services)
"Unlike a traditional maze, the labyrinth has only one continuous path, strategically leading each participant through eleven stations that focus on important aspects of the spiritual life. The labyrinth is a place where participants can get away from all the busyness of their lives and dedicate an hour to prayer, contemplation of Scripture, and personal spiritual commitment."
