The original intent when the recycle plastic bench program was started in June 2022, was to have 14 benches. This was in planning for eventual outdoor Stations of the Cross.

Since then, we have added one bench for the prayer garden and one for the preschool, for a total of 16 benches.

Through the generosity and plastic donations of many parishioners, we now have all the plastic we need. I will be removing the recycle containers from the greeting space. Thank you all very much for supporting the program.

A special appreciation to all who sponsored a bench. They are:
