Many parishioners joined the Knights of Columbus on Sunday, May 17, to pray for the dead as Fr Sean provided inspirational readings and those present then placed flowers on the graves of loved ones. Council 8851 of the Knights of Columbus organizes Cemetery Sunday because it is important to continue to pray for the dead and to help families bring closure at the loss of a loved one.
Brother Al Zillio led the reciting of the Rosary. Participating by leading a decade were Ed Wallace, Sheila Gossen, Rod Gallant, Bernadette Price and Corey Philips.
An important part of Cemetery Sunday this year was the Fourth Degree conducting a sword presentation ceremony at the grave of each of the ten Knights buried in this cemetery, as well as at the grave of Kaitlin Bolton, who was the Motorcycle Ride Patron for several years. DGK Roy Hancock, laid flowers at each of the deceased Knights as well as Kaitlin. Fr. Sean blessed the flowers before they were placed on the graves.
The Fourth Degree consisting of Brother Knights Paul Hatton, Jean Paul Gauthier, Michael Goodfellow, Murray Goodfellow, and Al Zilio provided the honour guard as Fr Sean read from scripture. The praying of the Rosary continues through the summer on the second Monday of every month at 7 PM at the cemetery. All are welcome!
