This is Dawn and Caleb Murray, the first couple who were married in St. Clare's Chapel and hosted their reception at the Centennial Barn in June of 2010. Since then we have hosted many other couples on their joyful day. While we have dozens of weddings booked for 2011, we still may have space for you!

The Franciscan Gardens
The Franciscan Community Gardens have grown by leaps and bounds in 2010. In addition to the 61 individual plots in the neighborhood gardens, we have a communal garden farmed by a local Bhutanese refugee community.
We have an "entrepreneurial garden" for urban residents sponsored by the Findlay Market Urban Farmers Program. Visit www.findlaymarket.org for more information.
The harvest from our 2000 square foot food pantry garden will be distributed through Su Casa which is run by Catholic Charities
As last year, we will provide Our Lady of the Woods with fresh produce and we plan to make additional donations of thousands of pounds of produce! |

The involvement of the Bhutanese refugee community has facilitated an ongoing collaboration with Catholic Social Services. Currently we are working on a grant with Catholic Charities to underwrite the cost of refugee gardening. |
