Friends of Koi care for the Koi and turtles in the parish pond by the
chapel. This pond was built in 1955 by the Sisters of Precious Blood, and
several of the fish in the pond are more than 55 years old.
Our volunteers fall into three groups: Koi Keepers, Gardeners and Fund-
raisers. Koi Keepers ensure that Fish and turtles are fed once a day, the
water is kept clean and clear and the filtration and skimmers are looked to
daily. That means every day, 365 days a year, a pond keeper is spending a
half hour or more caring for the pond and fish. All Koi Keepers receive spe-
cialized training about how to care for Koi.
Our Garden volunteers thin, rake and prune the plants in and around
the pond and waterfall because they are part of the eco-system that sup-
ports our healthy fish. Fundraising Volunteers help us run food sales to
pay for the food, chemicals, equipment and expertise that support the
pond.
We need your help! Please call Karen Willson at 760-547-0701 to
volunteer or donate to help support our parish pond.
