Members of Boy Scout Troop 583 - Holy Spirit Parish - McAllen, Texas were guided by Aaron to accomplish the project.

The entrance to the Monastery grounds
on the West side off highway 3167
about 7 miles north of where 3167 intersects US Hwy 83.

The Monastery as it was in February 2006.

The work group gathers and meets Sr. Nancy Boushey.
The project is to set up a cemetery to remind people of the number of abortions which occur in USA.

Work begins, setting out crosses.
These illustrate and lament the 160 abortions which take place in USA every hour.

The project nearly done.

Moving a very heavy marble statue of Christ became part of the project.

We managed to get the statue to its new location in one piece.
