Grave Blessings

by

During the month of November, your Canons are available to bless the graves of your family members and friends. Please fill the form at the back of the church with all details and return it in the printed envelope to one of the Canons. They will publish in the newsletter which Saturday and time in November they will bless the graves. They will do their best to make one travel to each cemetery. If your grave is not in one of the cemeteries mentioned on the form, please indicate it to the Canons. Thank you!
