The proposed corridor is some 0.7 kilometers of gradual terrain. The hill is covered in lush greenery with lots of trees and undergrowth. Some under brushing has been done to identify the trail and steps were built at some parts of difficult terrain. From the peak of the hill, you will enjoy a scenic view of the town and the open sea.

A giant rosary, hanging on a cross of more than twenty feet will be constructed at the starting point of the Rosary Corridor. The project is expected to be completed before the annual Rosary Rally, 15th August 2014.

The Coordinator of the Rosary Rally, Sr Appollonia Gumpu fsic shared that the objectives of the rally are;
- To gather the faithful community to pray together for a common purpose - unity, solidarity and communion.
- To pray for our resilience, courage, faithfulness that our present and future generation may not succumb to the threat of globalization and 'virtual culture.'
Without prayer, and specifically the Holy Rosary, we will not find solutions to the many problems confronting us.
