The Vigil Garden Committee

Understanding vigil to be a period of devotion on the eve of a fesival, the memorial garden at Christ Church has come to be called the Vigil Garden. Located in the courtyard between the Church and the Wheeler Education Building, this lovely garden is designed for the committal of the cremated remains of baptized members of the Church (or members of their family) who, upon their death, wish for their mortal bodies to rest near the place where the great events of the Christian Life -- Baptism, Confirmation, Marriage, the regular worship of God -- have taken place. The Vigil Garden Committee is entrusted with provision for maintenance and continuing upkeep of the garden with funding provided by usage fees.
