The graves of parishioners who are veterans, will be decorated with American flags this Memorial Day weekend, in honor of their service to these United States of America. The Memorial Garden of St. Francis; at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, has been the final resting place for the ashes of parishioners and family members since 1962. This Memorial Day, 14 gravesites will be decorated with American flags to honor those who served in the armed forces. The Garden of St. Francis is a grassy sacred place, in the form of a circle, located in front of the stone exterior sanctuary wall, on which a white cross hangs. The garden includes a fountain with a statue of St. Francis, a sundial, along with a wooden bench to permit those visiting to rest and reflect. Nearby is a Buddha bell, cast in Japan in the 1700's; protected by a wooden pagoda structure.
