Steve's Eagle Scout Mary Garden Project

Jun 5 2003 - Steve Eizensmits, Marion, OH

These are pictures of my Eagle Scout project which was
dedicated May 15th.


Article about the project:

The Courtyard at Marion Catholic High School is alive this
spring with flowers and trees to honor Mary Our Blessed Virgin
Mother.

The Mary Garden was planted last spring as the Eagle Scout
project of Steve Eizensmits, Troop 50, a present Senior at
Marion Catholic.

The Mary Garden was dedicated on May 15th after an all school
Mass and May Crowning.  Father Rod Damico presided over the
Mass and ceremony.

Crowning Mary was Senior Aimee Allen, while Sophomores Ashley
Vance and  Jessica Carbetta sang the Ave Maria.


  


Also in attendance were family members representing the three
memorials at the site. - Mary Rita McGlew and Karen Ferrell,
sister and daughter of the late Dr. & Mrs. Dan Murphy; Paul
Meister, spouse of the late Sue Meister; and Mr. & Mrs. Jeff
Baldauf, son of the late John Baldauf.

Jeff Baldauf explained how the statue of Mary and the
surrounding sidewalk were installed and donated in honor of his
father John, who started the St. Mary Marion chapter  of St.
Vincent De Paul and strongly supported MarionŐs Catholic
Schools and Right to Life.

Paul Meister, a former Athletic Director at Marion Catholic was
present to remember his wife through her memorial which was
planted by the Class of  ? .

Meister added, "I'm always glad to come back to Marion
Catholic".

Mary Rita McGlew and Karen Ferrell were pleasantly surprised
and honored by the memorial to Dr. & Mrs, Dan Murphy who were
strong supporters of MarionŐs Catholic Schools and Respect
Life.

The landscaping completed last year by Steve Eizensmits was
possible through donations by St. Mary Parishioners and Marion
Catholic Student Council (marble benches).
