Shrine of the Stations of the Cross

This Cross
This cross announces the purpose of the path ahead and invites us to ponder this place in the high mountain desert of a valley named for the the oldest town in Colorado.

This unique shrine was constructed in the 1980s and dedicated in 1990. It was built by the parishioners of the Sangre de Cristo Parish in San Luis, and it's a Spanish-Moorish style adobe church. The shrine was built as an act of love and good faith, and it was designed to be a place where people of all faiths could come together and fellowship.
