Back from the Dead Cemetery Walk

Led through the dark by candlelight, visitors take a faith-filled walking tour through the cemetery. Along the way, actors portraying saints and figures such as Archbishop Fulton Sheen, Fr. Vincent Capodanno, and a grave digger come to life. These encounters invite guests to reflect on death, judgement, heaven, and hell.
