My Mom & Dad loved to take trips in the great southwest. Just outside of Sedona, AZ is the Chapel of the Holy Cross. Designed by Marguerite Brunswig Staude, a pupil of Frank Lloyd Wright, the Chapel appears to rise out of the surrounding red rocks. The towering cross and awesome panorama of buttes, valley and sky are a source of inspiration inviting rest and reflection
Built in the 1950s, the chapel’s front façade is comprised of windows and a cross that juts from a 1,000-foot high rock wall and rises 90 feet into the air. It’s easy to access on Chapel Road. The church is modest, which seems fitting for its special spot set in the rocks, and offers seemingly endless views of the area.
Chapel of the Holy Cross belongs to the parish of St. John Vianney in Sedona and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix. Visitors are invited to attend a brief evening prayer service on Monday evenings at 5pm.
