Just a reminder, there is a lock box right next to the parish office door that can be used for parish use only.

The American flag in the cemetery needs to be changed several times during the year due to the wind conditions. If you have a flag that you have received in memory of a loved one, and would like to have it flown in our cemetery, please call Joyce, 739- 4779. The size needed for the cemetery is 5 ft. x 9 ft.

JUST A QUICK REMINDER that the church is open daily Monday - Friday, 7:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. if you should like to stop by for a visit.

Your cooperation is requested over the next few weeks while flags and flowers are all about the cemetery. You will notice that all of the flags are in line and that the flowers have been placed on the flat markers. The reason for this, as you might guess, is to facilitate mowing. As you know, lawns must be cut quite often this time of year, and the cemetery crew continually strives to have a beautiful cemetery that we can all be proud of. This makes it possible to maintain the cemetery at the level that we have become accustomed to, without prohibitive expense. As always, thank you in advance for your cooperation and support. Please Note: Flowers and all remaining religious articles and other memorabilia must be removed from the cemetery by Thursday, June 25, 2026. Only flowers that are on monuments will be allowed to remain in the cemetery. Also, please note that plantings of any kind are not allowed around the base of the monument. Benches, chairs, vigil lights, and other ornaments are prohibited. No artificial flowers are allowed at any time in the cemetery. As always, thank you in advance for your cooperation and support in regard to this matter.
