Friends Of St Nicholas

We also installed a granite statue of a Guardian Angel which is the namesake of our sister parish in Chaska. The Guardian Angel is just inside the entry pergola, across from St. Nicholas to welcome visitors to garden which is open every day of the year from 6 am to 10 pm.

We had to replace a section of our exposed aggregate walkway. It was not properly sealed when installed and was eroding away creating a safety hazard. New cement was poured to improve safety and appearance of the garden which is well maintained to ensure visitors have an enjoyable visit.

We again hosted our annual Marian Novena at the end of August. This nine day prayer event brings in 20-50 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.
