St. Joseph’s Cemetery News Announcement

We hope everyone has noticed the improvements made to our St. Joseph’s Catholic Cemetery thus far. We are currently having the
center sign painted. We hope to post our rules and regulations for the cemetery in the next few weeks. We continue to seek
donations to complete the remaining sections of the cemetery fence and apply additional gravel to the roadways in the cemetery from
all the recent rains. Anyone interested in donating please see a committee member.

EVENTS FOR NEXT WEEKEND – MAY 11/12

St. Anne’s Altar Society members will be selling Roses after masses next weekend in support of
Birthright.

The Knights of Columbus members will be distributing baby bottles for their “Kansans for
Life” campaign after masses as well. Please fill the bottles and bring back to church on Father’s Day weekend.

On Sunday, May 12, OHS Senior Graduates will be honored at mass.

The Knights of Columbus will be serving Biscuits and Gravy from 7-10 AM on Sunday,
May 12 for a free will donation. HOWEVER, since this is also MOTHERS’ DAY and OHS Seniors will be
honored at mass, ALL Mothers and Seniors are invited to join us for a complimentary meal!
