Positioned around the perimeter of the nave are St. Luke’s 14 Stations of the Cross. These ceramic panels were designed and created by the late Warren Acheson, a local artist and member of St. Luke’s. They represent in an abstract way the traditional 14 stations depicting the series of events in Christ’s Passion.
