The Woman at the Well Outdoor Picnic Area
It is with joy that I announce and invite everyone to the blessing and dedication of our new picnic area after Mass on Easter Sunday. This will be followed by a brief reception in the parish hall.
Early last year as we were still working through the pandemic, some of our parishioners expressed their desire for an outdoor space where we could gather for social events and be united as one family of God’s people.
Description: The benches signify our unity as children of God. The beautiful piece of art on the barbecue wall represents the different movements of God in and around creation and salvation. The three stones in the middle symbolize the Most Holy Trinity. The water flowing from the stone represents Christ, the living water welling up to eternal life. The flames from the rock represent the fire of the Holy Spirit. The statues are Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well from the Gospel of John 4:5-42.
For the past year, we have been working on this project through the generosity of Tom and Sarah Stadelman, who donated materials and labor for this project, the Knights of Columbus of our parish who provided labor and paid for the “Woman at the Well Sign,” and Francis and Alice Stadelman who with Tom financed the beautiful art on the barbecue wall. We are profoundly grateful to these our brothers and sisters for their generosity in making our parish a more beautiful and hospitable place.
