SACRED SPACES
A SACRED SPACE FOR MEDITATIVE WALKING
The Mercy Labyrinth is open during daytime hours for retreat participants and visitors alike. It is a place of quiet, contemplation, and meditation.
THE LABYRINTH AT MERCY CENTER
LABYRINTH HISTORY
Fr. Thomas Hand, SJ, founder of the East-West Meditation program at Mercy Center, built the Mercy labyrinth in 1997 as a place for walking meditation. All the work was done by hand by a small group of volunteers under Fr. Hand’s direction. Fr. Hand chose the jagged central stone of serpentine as a reminder of the stone Jacob erected at the site of his dream of Heaven.

The Mercy Center art gallery space is located on the 2nd floor in the hallway between the main stairway and the Oak Room. If you’re attending a retreat or program, we encourage you to visit the gallery, enjoy a cup of coffee or tea, and take a few moments to experience the world through the eyes of artists.
Mercy Center Gallery is open every day from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.
