A bounty of transformation: Parish gardens take root and offer lessons of family, food and faith
Nearly every garden offers a story of transformation, not just for the seeds that are planted, but also for the people who nurture the gardens. And sometimes the true harvest of a garden comes in the lessons it provides, lessons overflowing in humanity, beauty, faith and God’s grace. Here are some stories and lessons from a few parish gardens in the archdiocese—and the people who tend them. (Page 1)

Book shares stories of teacher who loves what she does
It’s one of her favorite stories from her 22 years of teaching, a story that also led to the unusual title of her self-published book.
