Shrine of Mary, Queen of the Martyrs · Tallahassee

Names set in stone.

The Garden of Hope is taking shape at the Shrine of Mary, Queen of the Martyrs, with paths shaped like a rosary that you can walk and pray. We are inviting gifts that place inscribed plaques on the garden wall, for families, parishes, and anyone the donor wants remembered.

The wall

Built to hold the garden. Marked by those who help.

Your gift supports the building of the Garden of Hope, a rosary garden on the shrine grounds with terracotta paths and decades, arbors, and a retaining wall where donor plaques will be set. The inscription is optional wording on the plaque: a name, a family, a parish, a short dedication, or none.

The garden

A rosary you can walk.

The plan is a rosary in plan view: a cross at the entry, a center medal, and five decades marked in terracotta, with beds and arbors along the way. The wall that supports this garden is also where plaques will be set.
