We are excited to unveil plans for
the new Legacy Walkway that will grace the front of
our beloved Church of St. John of Damascus. The new
walkway will not only be beautiful but also
permanent, along with the messages inscribed on the
bricks by you and other donors.
Don’t miss this opportunity to
make a lasting impression and leave a legacy for
generations to come by donating to The Legacy
Walkway.
Bricks can be donated by an
individual, family or corporation and can remember a
loved one, honor a family member, celebrate your
baptismal date, or immortalize your children. You
can engrave a one, two or three line message on your
6” x 9” brick(s). The walkway will begin at the edge
of the front steps and extend out across the plaza
toward the parking lot. Bricks will be laid in
groups of 50, so get your order in early so work can
begin.

Just as we remembered the
generations who contributed to the church over the
past one hundred years, so too will our children
remember us in the years to come. Be a contributor
to the walkway, be a part of our history.
You can order an
inscribed brick with either two or three lines, 17
characters per line. The inscribed bricks will
be laid from the church steps towards the parking
lot in the order the payment of the bricks are
received (specific placement not guaranteed).
Bricks can be donated
by an individual, family or corporation and can
recognize, honor or memorialize our loved ones.
All proceeds will go towards beautifying the
exterior of the church complex.
Donation for a
one or two line brick is $200.
Donation for a three line brick is $300.
In addition to, or instead of, buying a brick on
the Legacy Walkway, you may also make a donation to help defray
the costs of construction to our beautiful church complex. You
can do this by sending a check to the church,
earmarked "Legacy Walkway", or donate online with a
credit card on our
Donate to Legacy Walkway Fund
page.
