Knights of Columbus Memorial of the Unborn Brick Garden
Former Pastor, Father Kenneth Laird, sat in conversation with a number of parishioners one day after an All Saints Day dedication when an individual said, “Father, it’s a shame that once we take our family members to the cemetery, we hardly ever have the time to go back and visit them.” Quick on his feet, Father Kenny replied, “Well, let’s just bring their memory right here so you can see them every time you come to Mass!” Thus, the St. John’s Meditation Garden was born.
Although your family member or friend has left this temporary life, this special garden offers you and your family the opportunity to memorialize them forever and, as was mentioned, you have the chance to speak to them or pray with and for them every time you enter the church campus.
Memorial bricks can be inscribed with the name of an individual, a family member, an organization, for unborn babies, or even unknown persons, that they may reap the benefits of God’s mercy throughout eternity.
