Church of the Immaculate Conception issued the following announcement on Sept. 27
Next Sunday, Oct 4th at 12:00 noon. The Ladies AOH will be hosting a Prayer Service at ICC Cemetery with Fr. Gillespie as the celebrant. This is a new tradition for our parish and hopefully we can also plan one at St. Joseph's Cemetery. All are welcome & encouraged to stand at the graves of loved ones during the service. In Ireland a “Blessing of the Graves” is an annual ancestor veneration observance, held in Roman Catholic and other cemeteries in some areas of Ireland & along routes of Irish migration. Parishioners prepare by cleaning family graves and, in some cemeteries, decorating the graves.
