The OLG Parish Peace Garden and Labyrinth is a place to grow produce for
Lettuce Pray, a local program that donates fresh produce to the White Center and West Seattle Food Banks during the growing season. In addition, there is a labyrinth to provide a place of prayer and reflection for
not only our parish but for the larger community. Finally, there is a native garden bed, places to sit, and a variety of art projects to enhance this space. Please see the photos and documents linked on the right for more information.
It is also a place to build community, and to serve as an educational resource for OLG School. We invite individuals, families, classes, ministries, groups of friends, scout troops, and other various entities associated with either the parish, school, or community to participate in.
The Peace Garden is located at the NE end of the OLG campus, behind the Pastoral Center. Come check it out! -

RAISING FRESH PRODUCE FOR LOCAL FOOD BANKS
We have 10 garden beds that are available for adoption during each growing season to raise fresh produce for the West Seattle and White Center Food Banks. For more information, contact Laura Vanderpool at lauraawvanderpool@gmail.com to be added to our email list, or to sign up for a planting bed.
Click here for more information about how to adopt and care for one of these beds.
NOTE: Currently all our beds are adopted for this growing season.
OLG Receives Rice Bowl grants
Each year during Lent, OLG and many other parishes in the Archdiocese of Seattle participate in Catholic Relief Services’ Rice Bowl program. 75% of the funds donated in the Archdiocese go overseas for international hunger relief programs, while 25% stay in the area to help with local hunger prevention efforts. This year, we are happy to announce that OLG received two grants: one for $500 to help our Peace Garden and one for $450 to help with our Community Meal program. The Peace Garden produces fresh fruits and vegetables that go to local food banks, while the Community Meal provides a free, hot meal monthly to community members. It is wonderful to see the fruits of your generosity. Thank you!
