“Calvary is His cathedral; the rock of Calvary is the altar stone; the sun turning to red is the sanctuary lamp; Mary and John are the living side altars; the Host is His Body; the wine is His Blood. He is upright as Priest, yet He is prostrate as Victim. His Mass is about to begin.” – Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

PRELIMINARY CONCEPTUAL PLANS – SEEKING DONORS

What is the Altar of Calvary?
It is a proposed sacred place where the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is literally offered at the foot of His cross

Graced by the crowning act of Christian worship, Stephen S. Cascio’s imagination intimately unifies God’s love for man in its purist form; an altar chiseled into the raw earthy stone representing Calvary; a place where our Blessed Savior offers Himself to His heavenly Father and our salvation; the same place where the beauty of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will be offered, right at the foot of His cross. The Altar of Calvary becomes the most perfect prayer and setting of what the Catholic Mass represents and personifies.
