1. 9 11 Memorial Gardens Plaque
These gardens have been planted to honor and remember those who were taken from us September 11, 2001.
May the Prayer Garden be a place for their families and loved ones to find peace and comfort.
Each of the 306 bulbs planted in the center garden represents a victim from Staten Island. Their blossoms will symbolize the new life to which they have gone.
These gardens were planted with love and kindness by the Youth Ministry of St Ferdinand’s Church, Pittsburgh, PA.
May their efforts to “Go Make a Difference in the World” be an example to their fellow youth.
