What started with a wood cross erected on the property of Arnold and Sharyon Dueppengiesser in 2000 has turned into a sprawling spiritual landscape which attracts area Catholics and non-Catholics alike. In addition to the cross, their property now includes an outdoor Stations of the Cross, a pond, a statue of the Virgin Mary, a replica of a rosary made from 60 small bushes, a gazebo and several benches for relaxation and reflection.
