A collaboration between a generous donor and the Congregation of Holy Cross, United States Province of Priests and Brothers, invites visitors worldwide to pray the rosary while enjoying the beauty of nature.

This unique rosary-shaped path on the campus of the University of Notre Dame, known as the Holy Cross Rosary Walk, is set on a serene, tree-lined path that weaves around the hill between St. Mary’s and St. Joseph’s lakes. The walk will begin just north of St. Mary’s Lake and travel through the quiet woods on the Holy Cross property. Each decade will have a nook with two benches for quiet reflection and prayer.

Dedicated to the Blessed Mother and mothers everywhere, this site will draw guests into a deeper walk with the Lord under Mary’s guidance, transforming hearts and lives for generations to come.
