Labyrinth Garden

Sacred Space for All

A labyrinth was recently created in St. Mary’s front yard. Soon, we will be planting the garden surrounding the labyrinth. Read updates on our News page.

This sustainable and welcoming multi-purpose space is for worship, personal spiritual growth, rest, and fellowship for the parish and entire community. Located on a busy corner in Pacific Grove, this outdoor space is open and accessible to all. For suggestions on how to walk a labyrinth, read more here.

The centerpiece is a patio, roughly 1700 square feet, made of permeable concrete pavers. A 32-foot diameter wheelchair-accessible labyrinth is the highlight of the patio. We plan to use the patio for outdoor worship and church fellowship events as well as for community events such as prayer services, Friends of the Library events, outdoor memorials and celebrations, the annual Blessing of the Animals, and other activities as the Spirit leads us. The labyrinth will be available to all, year-round (except when events are planned). Read about the history of labyrinths here.

The surrounding garden will be planted with drought-resistant, wildlife-friendly (including our beloved Monarch butterflies) plants.
