More than two years ago, St. Wendelin Parish in Cleveland's Tremont neighborhood began a project to create an outdoor space of quiet, prayer and honor.
The parish commissioned a statue of St. Wendelin by the well-known sculptor, Sandro Banauito. The statue of the parish's patron saint was unveiled at a large celebration on July 29, the five-year anniversary of the parish's reopening.
Parishioners and friends came to celebrate Mass, process to the garden and to dedicate and bless the garden. A reception followed. The statue is the focal point in the new St. Wendelin Parish Prayer Garden and has a hand-cut stone prayer labyrinth. The prayer garden is open to all.
St. Wendelin Parish is located at 2281 Columbus Road near the West Side Market.
