Our Lady of Fatima Garden
LCM PLUS worked with our client St. Mary of the Annunciation Parish of Melrose to design & install patio space around existing statues. The area is frequented by parishioners coming to pray or relax, however the lack of seating and dull landscape detracted from the beauty of the Carrara Marble statues and serenity of the garden. In 1947 the Italian American Catholic Club of St. Mary’s designed, paid for, and erected this Carrara marble group of the Blessed Virgin Mary, 3 children, and Urn outside the then convent. This garden has been the focal point of the Parish Mary procession since the 1940’s with children crowning the Blessed Virgin Mary with flowers at the end of each procession. Donors are commemorated with engraved pavers for the patio area, engraved granite plaques on the entry pillars & the base of the statue, as well as engraved granite benches for visitors. LCM PLUS was honored to complete this work.
