Father O’Sullivan is the priest for St. Cecilia Church in Lagunitas and St. Mary’s in Fairfax a short distance away. When you meet Father O’Sullivan you are impressed by his down to earth talk of heavenly subjects as well as his sense of humor. For some time he has been contemplating an enduring and expressive monument for his church; a monument which represents not only St. Cecelia or the Catholic faith, but other major religions as well.
As such, he came up with the idea of commissioning a fountain which would contain the symbols of major religions of the world. He was referred to Sonoma Garden Living by a customer who informed him that Sonoma Garden Living implements exclusive projects such as fountains and statuary in carved stone. After many consultations, reviewing sketches, and discussing the ideal location for the fountain on church grounds the effort ultimately culminated into a beautiful travertine stone fountain with carved symbols of major world religions on its sides. The Holy Spirit is represented by a white dove on top of a black ball representing the world which is on the top of the two tiered fountain. An inaugural blessing of the fountain was given last September and is now a center piece of worship every Sunday at St Cecilia’s church.
Needless to say, Father O'Sullivan and the parisheners of St. Cecilia's are very happy with their Religions of the World fountain and Sonoma Garden Living.
