Why pilgrims come
Discover what makes Chapel of the Holy Cross a place of pilgrimage
A modern Catholic chapel set into Sedona's red rocks, with regular prayer services, weekday liturgies, and relics associated with the Twelve Apostles.
The chapel's cross-framed architecture draws the eye from Sedona's cliffs toward Christ. Visit for prayer, Eucharistic adoration, Mass when scheduled, and the chapel's relics—not merely for the overlook.
