St. Joseph's St. Joseph's Catholic Church is located at 990 Highland Drive, Elko, Nevada. The church was established, in Elko, in 1917. Reverend Norman King is the pastor. In 1998, a monument to all of the unborn children was dedicated on the lawn. In 2000, Father King planted Hybrid Tea roses in the small garden about the monument. Some of the roses chosen were: Chrysler Imperial, Double Delight, and Fragrant Cloud. The garden is thriving and the roses - truly beautiful. "Are we not all God's children?" . . .
"Yes, I believe so, even the unborn."
From my heart I say to you Love your children Raise them true
Be gently firm And help them pray Our time is short Do not delay.
Let them know How much you care And when there's heartaches That you'll be there
Help them to believe In God's eternal love Teach them what they need to do To one day be, in heaven above
- Dan Turner 8/31/00
Permission to photograph the garden and add it to the internet site was provided by Reverend King. It is meant to display the beauty of nature and the church's garden. The poem was inspired by the monument and roses, while I was visiting the garden.
This page is not, in any way, meant to be a statement of doctrine for the Catholic Church. That is best left to the Honorable Reverend King. He can be reached by using the link provided at the top of this page.
The photographs were taken in the evening of 8/31/00 with a Kodak DC280 Zoom Camera by Dan Turner
