Mass is held in the garden at least one time per year. The space serves as a pocket park for a community that lacks any city parks. The community uses the garden space daily for family and kid activities!

Maintenance
Maintenance--gardeners are supposed to help with the common areas that become weed jungles over the season. Never enough hands to tackle and never any budget to hire.
It is a wonderful space for families with young children. The garden is a fenced area that serves as a tiny pocket park for the community. Volunteers added a sand area years ago and it is full of kids throughout the season. Grant funding from a neighborhood organization and volunteers helped add sunshades in 2025 after two shade trees came down in a spring storm. Teachers from the parish school across the street use the space for education purposes.
