Other Facilities:
St. Francis Parish Gardens.
The Parish Gardens were built by Passionist priests and students during our Passionist era. The gardens include a beautiful stone bell tower, a winding paved path with Stations of the Cross, a screened-in shelter and meditation building, statues and a small cemetery. The cemetery contains the bodies of several Passionist priest and brothers.. The garden may be used for personal prayer and meditation by local people or travelers; and is used for several services and celebrations during the year.
While the garden was built during our Passionist era the garden, church and rectory grounds are the original site of the Catholic Osage Mission and the Jesuit men's boarding school that preceded the Passionists.
