About the Garden
Our Memorial Garden was established and blessed in 1990 by founding pastor Fr. Ed Moretti as a service to active parishioners.
After cremation, the Rite of Committal and interment is performed by the priest in the Garden, usually following the memorial Mass.
Featuring a Pieta statue, local flora, and several benches, the Garden is an inviting place to remember, reflect, and pray.
Plantings, markers, and other trinkets are not permitted in the Memorial Garden. Items left there will be removed.
The border planting box is available for those who wish to leave a plant; please see the Planting Guidelines tab for a list of approved plants.
Please read before you plant:
You are welcome to add a plant or flower to the border box (planting within the Memorial Garden itself is prohibited). Maintenance of the plants is done by volunteers.
Guidelines: 4"-6" pot size recommended. Remove the plastic pot before planting. Not allowed: articifical plants, vining plants, or thorny plants. As plants die out they will be removed by staff.
