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.
Cemetary notes:
Council approved a price increase for cemetery lots and services effective August 1, 2018. The last price adjustment was done in 2013. We wanted to allow those considering a lot purchase the opportunity to do so at the existing prices.
Below is a list of the Current and New Prices:
Current As of 8-1-18
Lot – Parishioners $700 $900
Lot – Non Parishioners $800 $1,000

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.
