The labyrinth at Saint Thomas was constructed in 2023 as a place for prayer, contemplation, and reflection.

 

 

Since ancient times, Christians have used labyrinths to facilitate prayer, contemplation, and listening to the small, still voice of God. 

 

Labyrinths have one path that leads in a circuitous way from the entrance to the center and back out again. Unlike mazes, there are no tricks, no dead ends, and no choices to make about your route. Because there is only one path, your mind can focus on something else. Labyrinths can be used in times of anxiety, stress, confusion, joy, and celebration. It is your time to be with God.

 

The labyrinth at St. Thomas is a 6-circuit medieval design in an octagonal pattern. It is located on the northeast side of the building, most easily accessed from the lower parking lot.
