Rosary Garden at Emmanuel Church
Delray Beach, Florida
Delray Beach, Florida, there is a beautiful outdoor rosary path at Emmanuel Catholic Church that is about a quarter of a mile in length around a lake with a fountain.
A life-sized wooden crucifix marks the beginning of this rosary path large globe lights mark each decade of the rosary and smaller globe lights mark each bead. The paved path allows you to walk and pray the rosary with your friends and family.
A great place to host a rosary group. Additionally, you can pray the stations of cross which are also marked on the path.
Free to the public, it is open day and night for reflection.
At dusk the globe lights illuminate the path as the sun sets, for a truly spiritual experience.
Annually, there is a Marian rosary festival in May, hosted by the Diocese of Palm Beach County. (see flyer)
This event is not to be missed.

The Cross in Barre, Massachusetts is truly a faith filled find. Just 40 minutes northwest from Worcester, Ma. this site is God inspired for sure.
When John P. Harty Sr. lay alone in his bed one night reciting the Our Father, he heard a voice loud and clear with instructions on how to clear his land and make a cross 200 feet long by 25 feet wide in the middle of his field and paint the 10 commandments on it. Three and half years later The cross, which is so large you can only see it fully from the air has been a site for many baptisms, weddings and healings. The grounds include tall arborvitaes that spell out the words “God’s Wisdom” and point to the cross.
There are many areas on the grounds for reflection and prayer. The site is free to visitors and includes picnic tables for patrons to enjoy their own refreshments.
