Part II: What was lost


...has been replaced! In the 80’s, the Second Station of Cross disappeared from the Chapel. In its place, a colored drawing replaced the Second Station up until this summer when a more suitable replacement was sought.  With a most generous gift from a former Stedsman, David Vossen ’95, Polish woodcarvers in Chicago were commissioned to craft a replacement that was in keeping with the original. Once again, the chapel has a magnificent and COMPLETE set of all-wood Stations of the Cross. 

Donating the Second Station, David said, “The Hall renovation would not be complete without replacing the missing Stations of the Cross.” Indeed, David…I couldn’t agree with you more! Well said indeed….and many thanks!!!
