The first thing you hear is the sound of water. Water symbolizing purification. Prayer. Peace. That’s what visitors to the Los Angeles Archdiocese’s second “Garden of Healing” at Our Lady of the Assumption Church in Ventura are meant to find.
If you know someone who was abused, bring them to that garden. It’s a healing garden.”
– Joe Montanez
