Living Signature planting project is gift to parish
-
September 22, 2021Holy Infant's "Living Signature" project has received a wonderful response so far. We need you to prepare the soil and plant perennials, shrubs and small trees on our church grounds.
The two-part effort to plant a “living signature” on our new campus begins with preparation and planting taking place over two weekends in October. Contact Frances Harris at [email protected] to coordinate plant selection. If you cannot be part of the hands-on planting, monetary donations will provide the “seed’ for our plants. Click here to make a donation.
Parishioners of all ages are invited to work together to leave their mark on our church’s grounds that honors our past, present and future parishioners. Our living signature will provide an atmosphere of welcome for parishioners and visitors and food for pollinators which will also help our Food Justice Garden flourish.

On October 2 at 9 a.m., assisted by the Knights of Columbus, volunteers are needed to spread and till soil amendments into the areas that will be planted. Volunteers should bring gloves, shovel/pitchfork and wheelbarrow. Portable tillers would also come in handy. No registration is required but many hands make light work!
The next step is planting. On October 9 starting at 9 a.m. volunteers are needed to help plant in front of the church. Bring gloves, trowel, shovel, water to drink and an appetite. The Knights of Columbus will host lunch for the volunteers after the planting is complete. Registration is required for an accurate headcount for lunch. Sign up here.
