FRIARS' MIND

It is always heartening to see so many people visit and decorate the graves of their loved ones. The care of a cemetery is not only an expression of human respect and common courtesy but also a measure of Christian faith. It is again that time of the year to remind you of the proper care of the cemetery grave sites.

To ensure the proper care of our parish cemetery a few regulations regarding the care and especially the decoration of grave sites are necessary. A number of the graves are repeatedly decorated with materials which are an obstacle to mowing and trimming, and also a danger to the equipment as well as personnel.

In keeping with the Archdiocesan Cemetery Policies we ask you to observe the following.

1) Lot holders are responsible for the maintenance of monuments and the sodding of new graves.

2) Decoration of graves should be appropriate and safe.

3) Glass, ceramic, foam plastic and wire decorations are hazardous and should NEVER be used.

4) Deteriorated decorations will be routinely removed and discarded after the first weekends of February, May, August and December. Dangerous, unsightly or wind-blown decoration will be removed at any time.

For the proper appearance and safe upkeep of our cemetery please observe these few regulations. If you find that your grave site has not been mowed or trimmed perhaps it is because you have made such care difficult or dangerous.
