The Stations of the Cross of St. Rosalia

The St. Rosalia Calvary is one of three stone calvaries in Poland. Built at the parish of St. Rosalia of Palermo, it is an expression of both the deep and sincere faith of the donors of the individual stations and a sense of parish community. It is also one of the most charming places in Szczecinek.

The entire structure is built of fieldstone and depicts the Stations of the Cross of Jesus Christ. It consists of three integral parts: the fifteen Stations of the Passion, the Path of the Patrons, and structures related to the history of the city of Szczecinek. Two structures stand out along the Path of the Patrons: the “Grotto of St. Rosalia” and a miniature replica of the “Ostrą Bramą” gate featuring an image of the Virgin Mary carved into the stone. The grotto depicts various scenes from the life of the patron saint. The Calvary also houses a parish museum. It is a place where one can find peace and engage in reflection. Here you can also view various exhibits and collections, including a field altar where Masses were celebrated before the church was built.

Masses are held Monday through Saturday at 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. (7:00 p.m. during the summer) and on Sundays at 7:30 a.m., 9:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., 12:30 p.m., 4:00 p.m., and 6:00 p.m. (7:00 p.m. during the summer). The parish office is open on Fridays from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. and on Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
