On Wednesday the 19th of September our third Columbarium, Sacred Heart of Jesus III, was delivered and placed on its foundation in our Cemetery and Memorial Garden.  This now gives us a total of 240 double size niches for inurnment of the cremated remains of deceased church members and their immediate families.  Our first inurnment was on All Souls Day 2005.  We are accomplishing what was our first goal; that was to have a special place on church grounds for our cemetery.

You can tell from the pictures, click here to view more photos in photo gallery, that this is not an easy thing to do.  Each Columbarium weighs 28,000 pounds.  A tremendous amount of planning and timing goes into this process to make it work.  It takes a huge crane, two large trucks, cement labor and a lot of effort from our committee and volunteers to help get this done. Special thanks to all of those that came out to help with this huge project.  The sidewalks, lights, benches and plants have to be completed before we can start selling niches in Sacred Heart of Jesus III.  If you have any questions, please call Deacon Larry Lipsmeyer at 922-3283 or Buddy Dixon at 922-2811.  Thanks to all for their help and support in the Sacred Heart of Jesus Cemetery.
