Cemetery Spruce-Up Day

Cemetery Spruce-up Day

Saturday, October 14 | 8:00AM - 1:00PM

Volunteers Needed!
In preparation of All Saints' Day, All Souls' Day, & the Youth Ministry's Cemetery Walk, we will be sprucing up our beloved St. Joseph Historic Cemetery. We want our cemetery to be a beautiful, respectful, and calming place for those who visit. Please join us for old-fashioned fellowship and lunch on the grounds.

Mother Nature takes a toll on our beloved cemetery, and whether you have a loved one in our cemetery or not, we welcome your help. We’ll provide lunch and drinks but feel free to bring anything extra you’d like to share. If you haven’t participated before, you’ll be blessed by the experience. Some of the older graves have no family living to take care of them, and it is especially moving when the grave is that of a child.

Families are responsible and encouraged to remove items they wish to keep in advance of this cleanup event.

Supplies to bring if you can: soft bristle brushes, rags, and buckets.  

If you have any questions, please call Bob Drain (904-553-9426).
