ANNOUNCEMENT OF CEMETERY BEAUTIFICATION PLAN – FALL 2023
Calvary Cemetery is an extension of St. Jude Catholic Church’s community. It is a sacred testament to our belief in the resurrection of the body and a Holy Place for prayer and consolation.
Keeping these ideas in mind, the Calvary Cemetery Committee Members discussed the current appearance of the Cemetery in our last meeting. We realized that we have an ever-growing number of unapproved, non-permitted items being placed on or around many gravesites. The Cemetery has had a set of policies in place since its origin, even though these regulations have not always been routinely enforced. It has now become apparent that the high number of non-permitted items is beginning to impact the safety, beautification, and maintenance of the Cemetery.
The Cemetery Committee has decided to post a general, public notice regarding these policy issues. Subsequently, we will attempt to individually contact the families related to the gravesites we believe to have items that are against policy. The families will have an opportunity to personally remove the items, since many may have sentimental value.
The Committee has set a deadline of January 15, 2024, for the families to have removed the items in violation. After that date, the Cemetery Committee will have any remaining unapproved, non-permitted items removed and disposed of, as the Committee deems appropriate.
Should you need more information or clarification on any of these matters, please contact the current Committee volunteer serving as Cemetery Representative, as listed in the most recent St. Jude Catholic Church bulletin.
Thank you for your cooperation in helping us keep our Cemetery beautiful for years to come! We apologize for any inconvenience or sorrow this long-overdue cleanup process may cause anyone.
