Every year on the Sunday before All Saints Day our Priest and Deacons bless every single tomb in our 2 cemeteries. Yes, they walk in front of each one sprinkling Holy Water while the Catholic Daughters lead loved ones in a Rosary. What a special day to pray for our beloved dead, visit with friends and family and hear a little bit of the language of our ancestors.....a decade of the Rosary in French. Eternal rest grant unto them O'Lord and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their soul and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.
And please look at the beautiful Altar donated by CDA some years ago AND the sun in one of the pictures.....it looks like a MONSTRANCE and is right over our church and adoration chapel!!! What a little gift from our good and gracious God.
