A spiritual pilgrimage

New Ulm - On Good Friday at the Way of the Cross in New Ulm, Bishop John C. Nienstedt led a public prayer and meditation on the 14 Stations of the Cross.

The Way of the Cross is a shrine of the Diocese of New Ulm located on the campus of the Diocesan Pastoral Center. The fourteen stations, grotto, and Lady of Sorrows Chapel were created by the Sisters of the Order of the Poor Hand Maids of Jesus Christ.

The seasonal maintenance of the shrine and fundraising for any restoration efforts is a joint project of the local Knights of Columbus Council 1076, a fraternal insurance organization, and the diocesan Way of the Cross Committee.

Restoration of the shrine has been dependent on voluntary contributions from individuals and organizations from across the state of Minnesota and beyond.

Mark your calendars!
