| This very special place for quiet prayer and meditation that is open to
all in the community at any time is located on what is the right side
of the church as you face the front doors. It has a beautiful wrought
iron gothic arch gate at its entrance. Inside the Garden you will find
three beautiful benches that can not be seen from the street that are
located between the stone buttresses of the church. This affords some
sense of privacy for prayer and meditation in a place away from the noise
of the street. As you enter you will go by a pool of water (to be installed
in the spring of 2003) with a fountain in the center and water splashing
down a large boulder. The sound of flowing water reminds us of our baptism
and of God’s creation and provides some “white noise”
to drown out the sounds of the city far below the hill. In time, various
plantings and sculptures will be added to make it a place of incredible
beauty as well as quiet. |
