On Sunday, June 12, 2005 following 9:00am Mass
(a children’s
liturgy), parishioners joined Msgr. Behl as he dedicates the
Garden of Mary’s Children.
The garden remembers those children of our
parish who have gone to join Jesus and Mary in Heaven.
It is located outside the
Parish Center and its flowers are all white. Its walkway is personalized with
memorial bricks for children (under 18) who have died and non-memorial bricks
for supporters of the garden.
The centerpiece of the garden is a statue of Mary,
mother of our Savior and mother of us all. Benches provide a place for quiet
meditation, reflection and prayer. The generous donations of so many
parishioners have made this memorial possible.
