deer eating flowers
The resident deer are hungry and eating everything in sight. The office has received numerous calls regarding flowers and plants that have gone missing from gravesites. As a reminder, there are deer living within the cemetery grounds. They have been here for many years.
Any and all plantings should be sprayed with deer repellent, even if your plants are deer-resistant. Please check with your local garden center for flower suggestions and spray repellents.

REJOICE AND BE GLAD
In April 2018 the Holy Father issued an Apostolic Exhortation "Rejoice and be Glad". He focuses on the call to holiness that the average person - not only Saints - can also be called to embrace. In paragraph 76 of the Apostolic Exhortation, His Holiness gets to the heart of what we do - stating "knowing how to mourn with others; that is holiness".
To the families we help in their time of need, our cemeteries are a vital connection to the Church. Often, we are the first representative of the Church that people encounter after the loss of a loved one.
Our Catholic Cemeteries are Statements of Faith that tell the world that Catholics rejoice in the Lord always. Our kindness while performing the Corporal Work of Mercy of burying the dead needs to be known to all. People see our Cemeteries and know the Lord is near.
Our Catholic Cemeteries remind everyone who enters or drives by that there is always a reason to "rejoice and be glad", even in our sorrow, because Jesus Christ has overcome death and eternal life awaits his family of believers. -
