St. Mark Church Plan To Build Labyrinth Gets Support From Foundation
Westbrook, CT, - The Foundation awarded a Grant of $7,500 to St. Mark Church to help with the construction of a permanent non-denominational labyrinth for use by the Westbrook community.
The labyrinth is on Church property on McVeigh Road, and plans call for it to be open to the public later this year.
The labyrinth is handicap accessible and easily walked by all ages, says Judy Gallicchio, a member of the Committee working on the project. “We will have a completely flat design 38.5 feet in diameter, using stone-look concrete pavers in two colors.
The labyrinth will be surrounded by a garden of various shrubs and perennial flowers to provide a private sanctuary. We will have a fountain and benches. The funds from the Westbrook Foundation,” says Gallicchio, “ allowed us to get started quickly and to complete a large part of the initial work.”
