All Saints Parish will celebrate the 7th anniversary of its Garden of Peace in Memory of Children Born and Unborn on June 29 and June 30. The rededication will take place after the weekend Masses, which are at 4 p.m. Saturday, 9 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. on Sunday. The church is located at 1342 Lancaster Ave. in Syracuse.
The garden was created to remember children of all ages who have died. The garden centerpiece is a dove representing the Holy Spirit and peace, alighting on a rock. Affixed to the rock is a plaque with the inscription: “Allow God to Love You and Bring You Peace.” Various shrubs, ferns and flowers adorn the garden.
People of all faiths are welcome to visit the garden – a place for prayer and reflection. If you cannot attend one of the celebrations, please take a moment to visit the garden, sit on one of the benches and experience its peaceful serenity.
