The Shrine of Our Lady of Pompeii is inviting current and former parishioners to purchase a paver for placement in the Shrine’s Garden of Remembrance. “If you’ve ever had a special moment in this sacred place, if you’d like to honor a loved one or commemorate a special date, please consider being a part of our Garden of Remembrance,” Shrine Rector the Rev. Richard Fragomeni says. The garden is located south of the Holy Family statue, with 100 bricks already installed. With every 100 bricks sold, another installation will take place. A 4-inch-by-8-inch brick costs $250 and is customizable with up to 3 lines of 20 characters each. Click here to order online.
