BURTON, Ohio — The landscaping surrounding about 17 of the existing prayer venues at the Shrine of Our Lady of Mariapoch received a major facelift this November and December. The work consisted of weed removal, relocating various existing plants, planting new plants and bushes, edging planting beds, and installing mulch or gravel to beautify beds and limit weed growth. The work is being funded by Stephen Trudic Jr., the son of longtime shrine benefactor Stephen Trudic Sr.
As well, 14, mostly granite, statues on the grounds must be cleaned and restored to their original beauty.
To contribute to the renovation, send checks, payable to “Shrine of Mariapoch” to Eparchy of Parma, Attn: Deacon William Fredrick, 5000 Rockside Road, Suite 310, Independence, OH 44131, or donate at www.shrineofmariapoch.com.
