An advisory council of parish members called forth from the community by a selection process rather than an election. Basic criteria are 1.) Be a baptized, practicing Catholic; 2.) Be a registered member of the parish for at least 5 years; 3.) Be a participant in the ongoing life of the parish, especially Sunday Eucharist; 4.) Be at least 21 years of age.  These are individuals who are capable of reflection, discernment, visioning, consensus-reaching, and pastoral planning.

Note 1. – Section AE is the newest section above the top road, bordering the Freeport Park property line.  These lots are only available to parishioners.

Note 2. – The soil in Section AE is prone to stone and excavating for graves can be more involved than the typical grave lot.  The deed carries a “Rock Clause” stating that any additional excavation charges will be the responsibility of the family.

Additional cemetery notes:

1. Lots can only be sold back to the cemetery at the purchased price.
2. Maximum of two cremains per single lot.
3. Caretaker has the final decision on all single lot purchases.

1. Removal of dead trees along the road to the park.
2. Road Repairs – patching and top dressing black top.
3. Chapel exterior painting and entrance improvements.
4. Possible head stone cleaning.
