Help get the plants in!

We have been taking advantage of the nice weather and making some great progress in the garden! This Saturday, June 16th, we are getting a large load of topsoil in along with some plants. We would love to have your help in getting the plants in and spreading the topsoil.

Families are more than welcome! Please bring garden gloves, a wheelbarrow (if you have one!), shovel--we'll have the coffee and some snacks! Gardening will start at 8:00 AM this Saturday and we will plan 2-3 hours.

We hope to get this ready before the Parish Race and Party....

Hope you can join us in this worthwhile project!

Garden Cleanup THURS 6-8pm

THAT'S THIS THURSDAY (7 June) from 6 to 8 pm!

Garden Project - please help!

Parish Garden Project

The circle of weeds and young trees in the center of the garden behind the Catholic Charities Building once held a statue of Mary and flowers.

We hope to make this a beautiful place once again for our parish to work, pray and play together.

We are moving forward with "reinstating the garden" project
and we invite all of you to be a part of it!

Please join us this Saturday,

May 19th starting at 9:30 am.

We asked you to pray for a nice day... and it worked!
They say it will be beautiful...
I guess we should have asked you to pray for world peace :)


We will work together to restore the gardens for a few hours and then we will party.

Please bring our own garden gloves, sun screen, and garden tools.

We will plan a cookout at noon and we invite you to please join us and bring a dish to pass.

Please RSVP Matt Smith via email your attendance and the number in your family who will be attending. Msmith@saintbenedicts.com.

We will be preparing the land to grow vegetables for the poor. See the link below for more details.
