Faith Feature
Liam Norton '18 shares how the
Sharon Mielcarz Memorial
Marian Garden came about.
"After several meetings with Mr. Dupont, in August, 2016, I decided to undertake an Eagle Scout project that would benefit the faith community of St. Paul and, with the help of family and friends, I created a tree island to define the main back entrance of the school. The island includes a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which was donated by the class of 2015 in memory of Sharon Mielcarz, surrounded by two trees and a variety of plantings, including tulips, hostas, ornamental grasses, and day lilies. Local businesses, including Hinman Lumber in Burlington and Winterberry Landscape and Garden Center in Southington, gave generous donations or discounts which allowed me to complete the project. The island was created to welcome students, faculty, and visitors to St. Paul when they arrive through the rear entrance and to honor Mrs. Mielcarz, who served as teacher and dean at St. Paul for 38 years before passing away from breast cancer in July of 2014. This display is a perfect showing of how our faith community can come together."
Mother Church
In anticipation of Mother's Day, St. Paul freshmen transplanted marigold ("Mary's Gold") seedlings from their classroom into the Sharon Mielcarz Memorial Marian Garden behind St. Paul on Monday, May 8. Students had originally sown their marigold seeds on a Friday during Lent, reflecting on Jesus' words that, "unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit" (Jn. 12:24). This week, they reflected on Jesus' Parable of the Sower (Mt. 13, Mk. 4, Lk. 8) and the kind of soil we want to be to receive the seed of God's word. SP co-chaplain Father Hector Rangel-Guerrera was with us for the first class period and blessed Holy Water to use in blessing the seedlings.
We thank God for the gifts of Mother Church, our Blessed Mother Mary, and each of our St. Paul mothers!
