The new prayer garden project, dedicated to Our Lady of the Lake, is a continuing parish project at Most Precious Blood Church, Angola, New York.  It consists of handicap accessible parking and walkways, easier access to the rectory office and church, circles and gardens located between the rectory and chapel.  The walkways and central area have been designated as a gathering space for Mass, prayer, organizations meetings, and other special events.  The garden has a granite altar with the parish motto inscribed on front, and four granite benches.

   The garden has four 12’ circular sections with benches and 30” granite medallions.

   Our Lady’s statue was relocated to a prominent place in the garden to provide an appropriate reverence.  This statue, donated by Dr. and Mrs. Walter F. King in 1955, was originally part of  our St. Peter’s Chapel on Old Lake Shore Road (near Lake Street), which was built in 1938.

         With the sale of the property and the demolition of the Chapel, the statue was moved to the grounds of our Church and was blessed by Bishop Edward D. Head in 1991.  Our Lady of the Lake was recently placed on a new, black granite pedestal inscribed with donors’ names  inscribed and is featured with a fountain of flowing water.
