The St. Clare Knights donated $5,000 to upgrade the Rosary Garden. The Knights worked with Father Vincent to get his requirements and then obtained bids for the project. Once a contractor was found, the Knights worked with the contractor to lay out the new concrete path and the spacing of the beads of the rosary. The beads of the rosary were stamped into the concrete and later painted. All visitors can now walk the path as they say rosary.
