2011 Dedication Ceremony

Helen MacDonald reported that the Dedication Ceremony was a huge success with approximately 350 in attendance.

The Mass service was led by Bishop Greeco, who led the congregation to the cemetery after the service.  The Bishop bestowed an Episcopal blessing and reconsecrated the cemetery, blessing every gravestone in the cemetery.  The Bishop was supported by Father John Melena.  We were also honored to have Andy MacIntosh, of the Canadian Armed Forces, provide traditional bagpipe music.
