The year 1852 saw four acres at the corner of Warren and Schaefer dedicated to God, recognizing His gift to a faithful people. These first immigrant families, who enjoyed and shared their God-given endowment, saw the Faith grow and flourish in the hearts and souls of thousands over three different centuries. Countless parishioners have witnessed the miracle of growth in the fertile minds of the parish young and have been humbled by the loving dedication of their Adrian Dominican Sisters along with lay teachers and parents. Over the years they have seen the Faith grow through the good and difficult times. Their love for their Catholic faith down through the decades presented the " soil for learning" and gave the locus for friendships to flourish.
The St. Alphonsus-St. Clement Heritage Garden honors the heritages of the parishes of St. Alphonsus and St. Clement and their schools where countless memories have been created. The garden is located on the site of the former St. Alphonsus High School building. Areas of the garden will be dedicated to alumni, parishioners, clergy, teachers, and friends. A special area of the garden will be set aside to honor those who have served in our Armed Forces through the years. In the center of the garden will be a plaza where commemorative bricks can be purchased.
Recognize your loved ones, yourself, family, or organization by purchasing some commemorative bricks for the plaza.
