A Message from the Pastor...
September 9, 2023
Dear Friends,
In July of this year, a new board of trustees was established to oversee both Saint Mary’s and Saint Peter’s Cemeteries.
Our mission is to preserve and improve each location as a sacred place, make the guidelines for the cemetery clear and easily accessible, and address the concerns of our parishioners and cemetery grave site owners.
To date we have revised our website to present a clear guidance to the rules of the cemeteries which are designed to preserve their decorum and spirituality. It is available in both English and Spanish on the Saint Mary’s - Saint Peter’s website.
New signs have been posted to identify our active water sources in both cemeteries.
We have updated the technology in the Cemetery office which also allows us to begin the process of digitizing the cemetery records.
But we have much more to do and we need your help.
St. Mary’s and St. Peter’s Cemeteries are in need of significant maintenance.
We have plans to add new signage throughout St. Mary’s. We will have street signs and section signs, and are looking to install solar lighting and security cameras.
We will add a Columbarium for cremated remains.
All this and more require additional resources that we do not have.
To that end, we will ask for a second collection twice a year so that we may accomplish our mission to create a space of comfort, remembrance and meditation.
Our first collection for cemetery maintenance will be on November 5, 2023
Thank you for your generosity.
