25th Annual Easter Lily Sale!

Posted on February 19, 2023 by Joe Bozik

Our Easter Lily Sale is Back!

Our annual Easter tradition is back! Order Easter lilies for yourself or friends — and donate lilies to the Franciscan Monastery of the Holy Land in America in honor/memory of your loved ones.

Your dedicated lilies will be placed in the beautiful and historic church for Easter and your loved ones remembered in a prayer list at the Church, in the friars prayers, and on a tribute page on this website.

ORDER LILIES BY MARCH 30

Lilies are $12 each (a change due to an increase in cost to the Garden Guild). Online orders only this year.

If you would like a postcard you can send to a friend you are honoring, email us (include your contact information).
