What was lost...

...has been replaced! Some time during the 80's, three Stations of the Cross in the chapel went missing. How did this happen? Who knows, but as the Johnny Carson Show would say, "more to come folks." In the meantime, the missing stations were replaced with colored drawings that unfortunately didn't blend in with the rest of the all-wood stations.  

Fast forward to the summer of 2014, at the prompting of a resident, we began in earnest to remedy the situation. In short, using another set of the same stations and relying upon the skill of Polish woodcarvers in Chicago, the St. Edward's chapel once again has a magnificent and COMPLETE set of all-wood Stations of the Cross.

Donating the First Station, Ralph and Mary Haag, friends of St. Ed, said, “Without question, the St. Edward's chapel, the oldest hall chapel, deserves these beautiful, hard carved wood stations. May they help us honor our Savior and meditate on the story of our redemption.”

Ralph and Mary, thanks, and all my love... St. Ed.
