Entering the Galilee Labyrinth

Built in the year 2000 as a Millennium project supported by the Oblate community, Board, and staff, the Galilee Outdoor Labyrinth holds deep historical significance. Inspired by the renowned labyrinth at Chartres Cathedral, France, it follows the Chartres style with an 11-circuit design.

Restored in 2021, the labyrinth underwent enhancements, including replacing the grass path with mulch and restoring the brick walls (fields). This restoration ensures its continued beauty and functionality for both individual and group walks, welcoming both private and public use.

The next guided Labyrinth Retreat will take place on June 10, 2026, facilitated by Susan Kehoe. Click here for more information.Built in the year 2000 as a Millennium project supported by the Oblate community, Board, and staff, the Galilee Outdoor Labyrinth holds deep historical significance.
