Parish Gardens and Grounds
Under Father Barratt's direction, a once-empty grassy lot beside the parish rectory in Hudson has been transformed into an English-style garden featuring lavender, bee balm, roses, lilies, Our Lady's Mantle, Rose of Sharon, and Angel Trumpets, along with water fountains and a stone patio. Father Barratt, who holds a Master's Degree in Garden Design from the Royal Horticulture Society, often tends the gardens while praying the Rosary. The space is used for prayer, quiet reflection, and parish programs such as marriage preparation.
