Building the Future of White House Retreat
“Stations of the Cross Walk”
Currently, our “Stations of the Cross Walk” contains 14 beautiful statues, supported by a sidewalk and a very difficult area to maintain.
Our “Stations of the Cross Walk” restoration project will focus on three primary objectives:
1. Improved Sidewalks
We will address erosion issues; build retaining walls to reinforce areas and widen the sidewalks as needed to provide emergency vehicle access.
2. Beautifying our Stations of the Cross
Current station statues will remain in place! Around each statue, we will build a private patio off the sidewalk, which will include a bench and an all-weather kneeler. Large landscaping rocks and native plants will surround each station, creating a beautiful space for private prayer and reflection (see enclosed photo for an artist rendering)
3. An Enhanced Spiritual Environment
New trees and plants will accent the entire area. By simplifying the surrounding terrain, we will promote better safety and more efficient maintenance of the area moving forward.
Most importantly, we need your tax-deductible gift to make these long-term improvements a reality. Please see the enclosed form which lists the ways to donate and sponsorship levels available.
