Our Labyrinth

One of the unique features of our grounds is our beloved labyrinth. A labyrinth is a circular footpath inscribed in the ground. Many people walk labyrinths as a form of meditation.

Come walk our labyrinth sometime! If it’s your first time, you can find a suggested method for prayerfully walking it here. St. Peter's participates in World Labyrinth Day and other worldwide labyrinth walks.

You can reach the labyrinth through the main entrance off of East Washington Street. Parking is in the small area by the gardens on the east side of the building. We hope to add a connector road off of John Bart Road soon.

The labyrinth is of the Chartres design and is found on the Worldwide Labyrinth Locator website. It was designed by John Ridder, owner of Paxworks, and member of Church of the Nativity, Indianapolis.

Our Labyrinth’s History

Inspired by The Rev. Bruce W. Gray and his Pathways to Vitality program, the people of St. Peter's set out to install a labyrinth on the grounds of the church. The labyrinth is designed to be a community space and is open from dawn until dusk each day of the year. In 2016, members of the Lebanon High School football team spent a day digging out the trenches of the 40 foot diameter labyrinth and laid one course of stone filling and leveling each stone by hand with sand. Over the next two days, members of St. Peter's finished the remaining circuits of the labyrinth and it was officially blessed during the Rogation Service in 2017.

Our Labyrinth’s Future

As the master plans for the property evolve, the plan is to install a paver apron at the entrance to the labyrinth, install shrubbery and other landscaping around the perimeter and potentially a water feature. It will also tie into the walking paths planned for the entire property.
