Tickets are $5.00, first prize is $3000.00, and there are four other smaller prizes. Draw date is September 12, 2020.

Father will then continue to the cemetery for a special blessing. Everyone is welcome to attend. Dates to be announced.

St. Michaels cemetery is now offering above ground interment for ashes.

Cremations now represent 60% of the burials at St Michaels Cemetery. Families bury ashes in

standard grave plots, often two family members per plot, at an approximate cost of $2600.

( For the two family members including a headstone)

The cemetery has been serving parishioners for over 200 years. If we continue to use grave plots

for the burial of ashes, the cemetery will be full in 10 to 15 years.

In September St Michaels will be installing a new Columbarium for above ground internment of

ashes.

Each Columbarium niche can hold two standard size urns. There will be a total of 48 niches

( 96 urns)

St Michaels is now offering these niches for sale at a cost of $1,700. The placing of ashes and

inscription on the granite doors will be an addition $240. (at the time of burial)

The total cost for this new service will be approximately $1940.

Porcelain photo’s can also be purchased for an additional cost and placed on the doors.

The Columbarium will be in the new section of the cemetery, the area will have lighting and

benches, providing a tranquil place to visit loved ones.

For more information on the new Columbarium, or any lots in the cemetery, please visit the

church office or call 778-5150.

As people arrive for Mass this weekend, you are asked to follow all the instructions of

the ushers. The ushers will be checking names so contact traces can be made if necessary

(we are required to maintain a record of people entering our buildings), and they will be

guiding you to the pews and for Communion, and at the end of Mass for the dismissal.

Given the need for social distancing, people will be seated in the first available pew from

the front as they arrive - this eliminates the need to walk around in search of an empty

pew which are not so easy to spot due to the spacing.

If there are members of your ‘Family and Friends ’ who will be arriving later, please

indicate this information to the ushers.

You are asked to remain in your pew at all times until directed to move by an usher.

Please note: public washrooms are closed.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
