Born of a generous partnership between a devoted benefactor and the Congregation of Holy Cross, the Holy Cross Rosary Walk invites all – pilgrims, students, faculty, religious, visitors, and friends – to pray the Rosary in the quiet company of Our Lady and the natural beauty that surrounds St. Mary’s Lake.

This rosary-shaped path winds gently through the woods along the lake’s northern shore on the grounds of the U.S. Province of the Congregation of Holy Cross. Along the way, five peaceful nooks – one for each mystery’s decade – offer benches for rest, reflection, and prayer.

Dedicated to Mary in honor of mothers and women everywhere, this walk is a sacred space where hearts may be quieted, burdens lightened, and grace encountered. As Blessed Basil Moreau, founder of Holy Cross, once wrote: “Place yourself under the protection of Mary… she is your Mother; she loves you as she loves her divine Son.”

 Here, beneath her gaze, the mysteries unfold – offering a gentle path to draw closer to Christ through the heart of his Mother.
