Why a Rosary Garden?
St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Parish is incredibly blessed with a beautiful campus and strong faith community, yet outdoor space to gather, pray, reflect, and enjoy the beauty of God’s creation is limited. In 2020, the idea to build a Rosary Garden in the grassy area northeast of the church was conceived. Since that time, the idea expanded as the potential for such a prayer space developed. In this Marian era, as devotion to Our Lady grows within the St. Michael community, it is fitting to create a magnificent space worthy of the beauty and splendor of our heavenly mother. We encourage everyone to use this space to pray alone or with others, to meet with friends and mentors, engage in conversation, or simply to reflect on whatever is on your mind. All for the heart of Jesus through the heart of Mary.
