All Fall & Christmas decorations must be removed by April 1!
***The Cemetery reserves the right to dispose of any flowers (natural or artificial) and/or grave decorations when they become unsightly.

Given the Archbishops go ahead to reopen here is what I would like to communicate to you:
• Please remember to wear a mask. (For the safety of others)
• Remember you are still dispensed if you do not feel comfortable attending.
• Please offer the spiritual communion prayer, find a Mass on-line, and/or pray the scripture readings, and reflect on the homily found in the bulletin if you choose not to attend.  Resources can be found by visiting https://stjohnstpat.org/online-mass

Thank you for your continued support during this pandemic.  We truly do have the best church family!

Until further notice, the Rosary Society will not host or serve funeral dinners, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  We are monitoring the situation in our area.  We pray for all families who have lost someone, and who have to make other arrangements during this time.
