Upkeep of St. Peters Cemetery

St Peter’s Parish does not receive any external funding for the upkeep of the Cemetery. The annual collection at the Cemetery Sunday greatly assists in this regard. Unfortunately, however, this collection cannot be held this year. Our beloved dead deserve a worthy place to await the Resurrection. We are  grateful for your contribution.
