Statue of the Madonna added to reflection garden to be blessed on September 8th following the 8:00am Mass.
Recently, a four and one half foot tall statue of the Madonna and Child was added to the Knights of Columbus reflection garden near the cross on the south part of our property. This depiction of Mary and the Child Jesus is carved from Italian Carrara marble and was donated by Tim and Kathy O’Neill to enhance this outdoor devotional space. The reflection garden was constructed and continues to be maintained by the St. Leo Council of the Knights of Columbus. The Knights also did the site preparation work to prepare a fitting place for the Madonna. Throughout the year, I see many people stopping by to pray and reflect in this beautifully kept reflective space. The addition of the Madonna makes the space even more attractive to visitors. I wish to thank the O’Neills for their donation and for arranging for it to be set in place. I also thank the Knights of Columbus for providing and maintaining this beautiful outdoor devotional space on our parish property.
