Anyway, attended morning Mass here this past Wednesday w 4 friends. Fr. Kirby officiated. From the outside, the building and grounds are in need of some upkeep. Inside, however, it is awe-inspiring. Erected in 1888, the architecture is beautiful... vaulted ceilings, lots of oak and marble, and beautiful stained glass. Like many churches in rural New England, attendance has declined over the years. All Saints is no exception, I imagine. I would encourage locals to visit this church. Ok, off my pulpit now.

(This is a review of the grounds and labyrinth, which are open to the public sunrise to sunset)…read more Life is full of twists and turns, right? And life's journey rarely puts us on a straight path to our goal. Those are some of the concepts behind the design and meaning of a labyrinth. Its maze-like design has only one way into the center, so you need faith and trust that you're walking in the right direction to get there. When the Pandemic hit us in early 2020, my wife remembered seeing a feature on the local news about how people were dealing with stress and searching for a sense of peace and tranquility. One of the things mentioned was a place in West Hartford where you could walk around and visit a labyrinth. After a little research, we identified that place to be the Holy Family Monastery-Retreat Center, and that's where we spent an hour or so today. Its 48 acres of peace and tranquility with paved paths, unpaved paths, statues, a basketball court, and all kinds of interesting sites. The most interesting feature is the Retreat's labyrinth with stone path dividers and an ash-gravel floor, It was dedicated on September 11, 2008. You walk it in a winding circular path that eventually takes you into its center and a circular sculpture where visitors have placed little souvenirs, stones, and remembrances to honor a person, event, or an emotion. I saw tiny toys, a religious medal, a blue silk flower and hand painted stones that said "Care", Success", "Romance", and "Happy Birthday". I'm sure that every article had a story behind it, some happy and some, no doubt, sad. It reminded me of the souvenirs and items of remembrance I've seen at the Vietnam Veterans Wall in DC, and The World Trade Center Memorial at Ground Zero. I'm not a very religious or spiritual person, but my visit to the Labyrinth was a very beautiful and satisfying experience.
