Holy Family Garden

The dedication of the completed Holy Family Garden was on Sept 18, 2005 and coincided with the 50th anniversary of the parish. Its purpose was to beautify the space between the church and the rectory.

It also was intended to be a place for prayer and quiet contemplation. The Holy Family Statue is a focal point, located near the north entrance to the church. In addition there are statues representing the Sacred Heart of Jesus, St. Francis of Assisi, and a Memorial to the Unborn.  There are also Stations of the Cross plaques along the brick path through the garden. The sale of bricks to honor families and individuals, living or deceased, helped fund this project. Bricks are still available for purchase to commemorate a special event or in memory of a loved one.

Rosary Garden

Having an open space on the North side of our Parish Center, Father Chris had an idea to create a rosary garden; a place to go to pray the rosary in a beautiful outdoor setting. As our newest garden addition, the Rosary Garden has stepping stones to guide you through the rosary prayers without the need of a physical rosary. It was designed and created by Hans Stark and dedicated in memory of Fr. Stephen Naas on October 8, 2024.

St. Joseph Garden

The St. Joseph Garden is located in front of St. Joseph Elementary School. It was created as an Eagle Scout project by Andrew Cutshall in memory of Thomas Ram Lian Thang, who was a student at our school.

Mary’s Grotto

Mary’s Grotto is located in front of the St. Joseph Middle School and was created as an Eagle Scout project in 2018 by Jacob Thome.

The “Secret” Garden

The “Secret” garden resides within our Parish Center courtyard and was created by Luke Sprague as an Eagle Scout project, with special assistance from Sue Bauman.
