Church seeks support for labyrinth The parishioners of Presentation Roman Catholic Church in Upper Saddle River are seeking support from the interfaith and business communities to help create a labyrinth peace garden. This oasis for meditation, prayer, and healing would be constructed on the grounds of the church behind the tomb located to the right of the building’s main entrance. The aim is to create a full-size replica of the renowned medieval labyrinth found within the center of Our Lady
of Notre Dame Cathedral in Chartres, France, using decorative pavers on a parcel of land outside the church. Over the centuries, labyrinths have been used for healing and reflection. Project organizers note that donors will have the opportunity to memorialize a loved one, or name a business or house of worship in an appropriate manner. A fund for this purpose has already been established. Church of the Presentation is located at 271 West Saddle River Road in Upper Saddle River. Call (201) 327-1313 for details.
