December Tree Lighting
As we enter this blessed season of Advent and prepare to celebrate the birth of our Lord, we warmly invite you to visit Our Mother of Sorrows Catholic Cemetery during the first week of December to enjoy the beauty of our Christmas lights.
May these lights serve as a gentle reminder of the love that continues to live in our hearts and the cherished memories of those who have gone before us. Though they are no longer with us in this life, their presence remains woven into the lives of those who love them.
Our cemetery gates will remain open throughout the week of December 1 – 6, welcoming families to walk the grounds, enjoy the peaceful surroundings, reflect, and remember those who hold a special place in their hearts.
Flower Pick Up Holiday Reminder: Beginning December 1, floral decorations will remain in place and will not be removed during our regular maintenance pickups unless they have wilted. We hope this allows families to enjoy their holiday arrangements throughout the Christmas season.
Pieta and Entrance Upgrades
The historic Pietà structure at the entrance of Our Mother of Sorrows Cemetery has sustained damage. We are making every effort to notify affected families and assist with relocating their loved ones from the damaged structure to the new columbarium.
If you are the executor or deed holder for a niche within the damaged columbarium and would like to arrange for your loved one to be relocated to the new structure, please contact the cemetery office for assistance.
We understand the importance of honoring your loved ones with dignity and care, and we appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through this process.
Once families have been moved, we will begin demolition of the old site and construction on restoring the old entryway and installation of a new gate. We appreciate your patience!
