Behind St. Anthony’s Church is a community Peace and Remembrance Garden, enclosed on three sides by the church building and the rectory, providing individuals with an opportunity to nourish their souls in quiet meditation and contemplation.  The garden also serves as a place for community gatherings of both the parish and the greater community.  The garden’s path leads you through a forest of Peace Poles, 8ft. high and individually decorated, to a bubbling Peace Fountain, and soon a columbarium for the deceased. The Peace and Remembrance Garden truly is a place of respite for those in need of comfort, or simply for a moment of silence in the midst of a diversely bustling community.
