to join the Mary Garden Guild as we plant annuals in the gardens. A green thumb is not required! The Mary Garden Guild

becomes an example to us in our daily lives. Her life journey, like ours, was full of joyful, sorrowful and glorious moments.

In those moments, she modeled attitudes of happiness, sadness and celebration. As our Mother she shows us how to be

children of God." (From Mary's Flowers, Gardens, Legends and Meditations by V. Krymow) The Mary Garden Guild

always welcomes new members! We need your help maintaining the gardens this summer! Call Marcy at 321-0236.
