Shrine Park, Carey

Fourteenth Station of the Cross

… Nearly every Cleveland family had a favorite tale to remember about the days when Carey, Ohio was the big summer vacation.
"Those were wonderful days," Mrs. Joseph reminisced with a smile. "We did everything. We prayed, and we marched in the processions, and then we went to the park to spend the evenings with everyone we knew and loved. We sang and danced and had a wonderful time. And isn't that the way it should be, after all? Like the Bible says, 'there is a time for prayer, and a time for pleasure.' How good when we can share all of that together."
