Cemetery Collection

Every year at this time—around Memorial Day—there is an appeal made to the parish on behalf of Sacred Heart Cemetery. Every time a cemetery plot is sold some of the income from that sale is put aside for Perpetual Care. You can imagine that the Perpetual Care money collected decades ago would not be near adequate for current day expenses of maintenance for the cemetery, let alone for improvements.

The burial of the dead is a pious and holy thing, as is the care of their buried remains. The cemetery is a holy and sacred place, as it claims our bodies until the Resurrection.

Your generous response to the appeal for Sacred Heart Catholic Cemetery will be greatly appreciated.
