St. Joseph Roman Catholic Church (Apple Creek, Missouri)

An organ, three bells – named Joseph, Cecelia, and Elizabeth – and stained glass windows were added over the years.

This Karst Window is the result of the collapse of a cave roof, allowing the view of a small portion of a hidden underground stream.

Joseph Becker installed stone steps to the cave spring so drinking water could be carried to the rectory via buckets and neck yoke.

Francis Krieger had a dam built and installed a hydraulic ram, which brought the water to the rectory by its own power.

The outdoor Way of the Cross or Via Doloroso along with a rosary laid out in the stepping stones were added in the late 1990s by Father Mark Bozada.

The shrine features a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary as Our Lady of Grace, a small altar for Masses, and amphitheater.

Jesus is Laid in the Tomb, the XIV Station of the Cross , inside the church's nave.
