Progress on our Spring Cemetery Cleanup

Parish Life, St. Valentine /

We are progressing nicely with our cemetery cleanup project. So far trees have been trimmed of dead branches and dangerous overhang. A wood chipper was rented to help clean up the massive piles of dead branches. This was a big undertaking for all who worked body, heart, and soul for our beautiful grounds. We were also able to look at the layout for the future site of our new pavilion. After working hard all morning our volunteers were rewarded with a great lunch, wonderful conversation, and a lot of laughs. Thank you so much and we hope to see you again on our next cleanup day.
