JOHN PAUL II MEMORIAL GARDEN
The memory of John Paul II is especially vivid in our parish. It is here that thanks to the generosity of many parishioners, the parish built the first monument in the Archdiocese to the late Pontiff, even during his life. The statue of John Paul II is located at the Southwest corner of Augusta Blvd. and Oakley Blvd. right in front of the church. This past year we improved the area around the statue and created the John Paul II Memorial Garden. It is dedicated to the memory of our loved ones living or deceased whose names can be engraved along with dedications on bricks surrounding the statue. This fall we installed the first bricks and they look beautiful. They are in a prominent place – accessible from the sidewalk in front of the garden that many people use every day and often pause for a prayer as they pass by.
There is plenty of room for everyone who would like to order a brick to remember your loved ones, engrave your special intention, or simply commemorate a special event of your life related or not to St. Helen’s Church, like your graduation day, wedding day, and so forth. We invite all of St. Helen’s parishioners and friends to join us to expend the garden and leave behind a mark of your past presence at St. Helen’s. As we look forward to our 100th Anniversary of the Parish we hope that this memorial garden will be a nice legacy of our parishioners for generations to come. A form to request a brick with a dedication is below. The total cost per brick with installation is $120.
