Peyton’s Path and the Stations of the Cross

Peyton’s Path and the Stations of the Cross

Take time to walk the outdoor Stations of the Cross. Located in a beautiful wooded area on campus. 

The story of Peyton’s Path: Peyton Morse ’21 was a beloved member of the Siena College community. He lived his life in dedication to the Franciscan spirit to serve others as a firefighter. Peyton lost his life in the line of duty on March 12, 2021, nine days after suffering a medical emergency during training at the NYS Academy of Fire Science. 

Peyton’s home parish, St. John the Evangelist Church in LaFargeville, NY closed in June of 2021. In memory and honor of Peyton, they gifted their Stations of the Crossto Siena College. The lovely gift, coupled with a lead gift from John T Leonard ’64, has allowed the creation of Peyton’s Path.

Peyton was a man of faith, he was no stranger to St. Mary of the Angels Chapel or the Grotto. Just as Siena’s Chapel and Grotto are places of prayer and reflection for the Siena College community, so too will be Peyton’s Path and the Stations of the Cross.
