It's not actually an open-air church, but rather the fourth reflection point: Brother Fire, and is a specially designed place along the Way of St. Francis. It was created by the Scout troop of the Taufers parish and incorporates the element of fire as a symbol of strength, renewal, and spiritual passion.

At the center of the reflection point is a brick fireplace, with seating arranged around it. The adjacent rock face depicts the descent of the Holy Spirit upon Mary and the disciples. The biblical verse is fitting:

This reflection point is dedicated to the element of fire and was designed by the Scout troop of the Taufers parish. At its center is a brick fireplace, with seating arranged around it—a place for fellowship and reflection.

On the rock face above, the descent of the Holy Spirit upon Mary and the disciples is depicted, fitting the Bible verse:

"I have come to cast fire upon the earth; how glad I wish it were already ablaze."

Here, fire represents passion, faith, and renewal—an invitation to pause, reflect, and rekindle one's inner flame.
