Vinnies Under Way with Painting Rocks for World Infant Loss Day Commemorations

The St. Joseph Vinnies are well under way with painting rocks for World Infant Loss Day commemorations coming up in October. These rocks will be hidden around Fairfield Park where the Project Butterfly garden is and members of the community are invited to join in the commemorations by coming to find the rocks which we hope will be either treasured or hidden in other parks around the Nelson community for others to enjoy finding. 

Mosaic Cleaning

On Wednesday 16 August, a couple of the St. Joseph Vinnies went to the Project Butterfly gardens to begin cleaning the mosacis. We were able to do the first half of the path in the time we had and look forward to returning to do the other half of the path sometime in the not too distant future. In liaising with Rebekah Joy about this, she mentioned that a few of the families are no longer in the local area so seeing the mosaics are still being cared for will bring much encouragement to those who the garden holds a special place in their hearts.
