ST. FRANCIS XAVIER CEMETERY

St. Francis Xavier Parish and Our Lady of Fatima Parish are planning a Celebration of New Life at the cemetery on Sunday, September 16 th, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. In case of inclement weather the celebration will be moved to St. Francis Xavier Church. The celebration will be inclusive of all family members who have died and in a special way, of all who have died in the last year. We will contact a member of each family to arrange for representation and someone to receive and place flowers for these loved ones. Lord, for your faithful people, life has changed, not ended.
