ALUMNI COMMEMORATIVE BRICK 

 GARDEN

     Your name and Class year, the name of a loved one or a short prayer could become a permanent part of Immaculata's school history!  On June 25, 2001, Msgr. J. Nevin Kennedy (Retired Pastor, of Immaculate Conception Parish,2002) blessed the 10'x10' Commemorative Brick Garden area located next to the Obzansky Building.  He also offered  blessings for all who purchased bricks and for their loved ones who are remembered and honored here.  A beautiful statue of our blessed Mother adorns the garden area.  Small shrubs and flowers surround this "Garden of Bricks".  In the near future we hope to be able to purchase a bench.  It will be placed next to this area for quiet contemplation.  It's been exciting for some children of our alumni who have come to see where their mom/dad went to school and find their name in the commemorative area. 

     We thank each of you who chose to support Immaculata in this way.  If you are interested in remembering or honoring someone close to you in this way, please call the Development Office for more information at (908-722-0200, ext. 224).  You can also be in touch through e-mail alumni@ihsalumni.org.  Another option is to print and fill out the following form and mail it to the Development office: Development Office, Immaculata High School, 240 Mountain Ave., Somerville, NJ 08876
