Description
Friends of St Nicholas created a Catholic prayer garden that is free and open to the public every day all year long, offering visitors a quiet place for reflection and prayer as well as education. They also purchased and installed four ten foot weather-resistant picnic tables to create a picnic cove for visitors to gather, take a break or have something to eat or drink. Additionally, waste receptacles were installed throughout the garden to help visitors dispose of waste and keep the garden clean. The garden is open from 6 am to 10 pm daily year round and welcomes 5-50+ visitors each day.

Program areas at Friends of St Nicholas

Purchased and installed a bronze St. Nicholas statue to place under the entry pergola of the garden. St. Nicholas is the namesake of the garden and the statue was designed to be similar to the one on the church. Depending on the season, there are 5-50+ visitors to the garden each day.
We hosted our annual Marian Novena at the end of August. This nine day prayer event brings in 20-30 people each day who gather to pray and enjoy some food and fellowship with other pilgrims. This prayerful event spreads awareness of the garden and always brings new people in which helps grow the number of people who visit each year.
We again retained our original architect to continue designing the 15th station. Phase two was completed. We are starting phase three which is currently in process to get us construction drawings to begin construction. This will complete one of the main features of the garden for which we have been planning for since its inception.
