The Empty Tomb
The Empty Tomb
The 15th Station, The Resurrection, was installed with Diocesan permission.
The death of Jesus was a sacrifice on our behalf, for as he stated,
“I lay down my life in order to take it up again, no one takes it from me but I lay it down on my own. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it up again.”
The Empty Tomb bestows upon us a life full in Christ. The resurrection reveals to us that the tomb cannot hold us from the glory to which God has called us. We share in this glory now by the grace Jesus has won for us. May the resurrection inspire us to live the new life in Christ, bearing witness to the resurrection of Jesus, manifesting the glory of God in our bodies by everything that we do.

Assembly of Stainless Steel Frames for the Stations of the Cross Artworks
Winter 2016
The Glass Artwork (2 panels each 7' X 4') was stored in an area in the monastery and were transported to the main church area. A large gantry crane was required to lift and turn the pieces while being assembled (over the winter of 2016) Ted Harasti and his son, Terry worked the entire winter assembling the custom frames designed by Ted and Pat Tremamunno, President of Inox Industries. Inox donated the manpower and equipment to manufacture the frames in kit-like pieces and then they were assembled by Ted & Terry, and assisted by several volunteers, Joe Gennaro and Genedy (from Frank Santarsia' crew), just to name a few. The completed frames were entirely custom made with custom rubber gaskets and special spring SS separators that also doubled as shock absorbers.
