Archbishop Nelson Pérez blesses a new rosary garden at St. Albert the Great Parish, Oct. 30. Once a muddy patch of ground, the parcel was transformed by parishioner Robert Lewcun as part of a two-year Eagle Scout project that ultimately required almost 100 volunteers, 6000 hours of labor and more than $100,000 in funding.
