Making All Things NewSome of you have seen in the news that the Archdiocese has begun the process of closing and
merging parishes as part of Cardinal Dolan’s Making All Things New. Some parishes will be effected
more now more than others. The Cardinal has decided to merge St. Mary’s Parish with St. Joseph’s
Parish. As of August 1, 2015, St. Joseph’s Church may be used on special occasions but Masses and the
sacraments will no longer be celebrated on a regular weekly basis at St. Joseph’s Church. While St.
Peter’s Parish has not directly been effected by these changes, all parishes should expect change in one
way or another as this process continues over the next few months and years.
Statement from the Archdiocese of New York regarding Making All Things New
“This time of transition in the history of the archdiocese will undoubtedly be difficult for people who live in parishes that will merge. There will be many who are
hurt and upset as they experience what will be a change in their spiritual lives, and I will be one of them. There is nobody who has been involved in Making All Things New
who doesn’t understand the impact that this will have on the Catholic faithful. It will be our responsibility to work with everyone in these parishes so as to help make the
change as smooth as we possibly can.”
With these words, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New York, today announced the results of a multi-year pastoral planning process, Making All Things
New, undertaken to strengthen and enhance parish life in the Archdiocese of New York and to assist the archdiocese in serving its Catholic faithful most effectively. This
pastoral planning process, which had its beginnings in 2010, sought the input and suggestions of parishioners, the leadership of religious orders of women and men, and
the clergy, resulting in today’s announcement.
The first phase of pastoral planning, directed by Bishop Dennis Sullivan, then the vicar general of the archdiocese, picked up on the good work begun by
Cardinal Edward Egan prior to his retirement as archbishop in 2009. This initial work consisted in surveying the parishioners of every parish of the archdiocese; meeting
with priests, deacons, and religious throughout the archdiocese; consulting with the archdiocesan pastoral council; and reviewing the observations offered by Cardinal
Dolan from his own extensive parish visits since his 2009 appointment as archbishop. These elements were used to determine how pastoral planning should proceed, as
well as to identify areas in which the archdiocese should concentrate its resources. Among the issues raised most frequently during these meetings were:
1. The need for a strategic plan for Catholic schools
2. Improved religious education and faith formation programs for children, youth, and adults
3. Greater outreach to various ethnic groups, in particular Hispanic Catholics and recent immigrants
4. Enhanced ministry to teens, college students, and young adults
5. Better use of technology for more effective communication with parishioners
6. Expansion of healthcare throughout the archdiocese
7. An emphasis on the works of charity, particularly in affordable housing
8. Enhanced transparency, especially on financial matters
9. Promotion of greater involvement of the faithful in the life of the Church, especially in attracting new people to the faith, and winning back people who have left
Even while the pastoral planning process of the archdiocese was being developed and instituted, these areas of concern identified by the faithful, religious, and clergy of
the archdiocese were being addressed:
1. Pathways to Excellence, a strategic plan whose principal purpose is to improve the education and formation provided by Catholic schools, was developed and
implemented. A key component of the plan is the establishment of regional school boards for non-parish based schools, with the governance of these schools
on the local level. While this plan led to a number of schools closing, a record 60% of the students enrolled in neighboring parish schools, with all schools
strengthened as a result. This past year was the first in many years in which no archdiocesan schools closed.
2. An all new, cluster-based religious education program for school age children is being developed, with a qualified director or coordinator of religious education
for each cluster and the introduction of new technology to enhance learning. In addition, a director for adult faith formation has been hired to develop new
opportunities for on-going religious education in the archdiocese.
3. The Office of Hispanic Ministry has been expanded, with a new, full-time lay director hired to work with all departments and parishes in the archdiocese to
better minister to and with our Hispanic parishioners. A particular emphasis has been placed on the upper counties of the archdiocese, which has seen an
influx of Hispanic Catholics over the last several years. Replicating the excellent outreach to Hispanics being done by a community of religious sisters in the
Bronx, several women religious of another community will serve in the upper counties to visit, evangelize, and catechize as part of this new emphasis.
Regarding new immigrants, a long-term parish home is being identified for the Ghanaian Catholic community in an existing parish that might otherwise have
been merged.
4. A new office for teen ministry has been established, with the goal of remaining connected to young people, especially after they receive the Sacrament of
Confirmation. While all Catholic colleges and universities have campus ministry programs, FOCUS (Fellowship of Catholic University Students) has recently
expanded its campus ministry presence at two large secular universities in the archdiocese. A new director for young adult ministry is expanding programs for
post-college age young adults, including monthly Masses and opportunities for fellowship, service, and faith sharing.
5. A comprehensive plan utilizing technology to enhance communication within parishes and between the archdiocese and its parishioners has been developed
and is being implemented. This includes the ability to hold archdiocesan wide “town hall” video conferences, new websites for the archdiocese and its parishes,
and the use of an email and text messaging system for better communication within individual parishes.
6. ArchCare, the archdiocesan healthcare ministry, has been expanding into all ten counties of the archdiocese, with new programs including home healthcare,
visiting nurse services, and PACE programs to supplement our existing nursing home system.
7. Responding to the need in New York City for affordable housing for the poor and low income, Catholic Charities, through its affiliated housing entities has
leveraged over $300 million for rehabilitation of more than 2000 family and senior units of housing and extended their commitment to affordability for years to
come. One project in particular is in the Morrisania section of the Bronx on a site previously occupied by St. Augustine’s Church that is currently being
developed to offer 112 units of new housing for low income families and individuals with special needs.
8. Annual condensed financial statements of all centrally managed programs, together with a report of total revenues and expenses of parishes and schools, are
published in Catholic New York and posted online.
9. Members of the faithful are now serving on the boards overseeing the regional schools. The archdiocese is also jointly sponsoring a Master of Science degree
in church management to train members of the faithful to assist our parishes as parish managers.
The pastoral planning process also brought to light numerous new pastoral needs and opportunities which are now either underway or undergoing serious
consideration. Responding to the growing number of Catholics in the upper counties, a second auxiliary bishop has been assigned to live and serve there. There are also
needs in existing parishes, for example the need for a larger and more complete Saint Frances Cabrini Parish on Roosevelt Island, the need for an expanded church at
Saint Mary’s Parish in Washingtonville, a potential move of Saint Michael’s Parish in Manhattan to accommodate the pastoral needs of those who will move to the new
Hudson Yards development, and a more intense presence in the works of charity and healthcare in the upper counties.
Making All Things New has also identified changes that need to be made to the existing parish structure of the archdiocese, one that was largely established
between the mid-19 to mid-20 centuries. Changes in individual parishes have, of course, always taken place. For instance, in the last 50 years alone, 42 parishes haveth th
been consolidated, which includes 2007’s reconfiguration plan, which resulted in 21 consolidated parishes. However, Making All Things New is the first planning initiative
to incorporate the “ground up” involvement of every parish in the archdiocese.
Based on the input the cardinal received from the 368 parishes and 75 parish clusters (groups of about 4-7 neighboring parishes); a 40 person advisory
committee comprised of clergy, religious men and women, and the faithful from across the archdiocese; the priest council; other close advisors and key staff, he has
decided that:
1. All parishes will work together more collaboratively within their clusters in providing services and ministries
2. 48 parishes will merge with a nearby parish, resulting in 24 new parishes, with Masses and sacraments celebrated at both churches. There will be an
evaluation every two years of these newly merged parishes, and every parish throughout the archdiocese. To accomplish this, the archdiocese has
established a parish planning office, to be directed by Eileen Mulcahy.
3. 64 parishes will merge with a nearby parish, resulting in 31 new parishes, and while this new parish will have two churches, Masses and sacraments will
only be celebrated on a regular basis at one church as of August 1, 2015.
There are a small number of new proposals for parish mergers that have arisen as a result of the cardinal’s own reflection on those proposals presented to
him, as well as from his discussions with key advisors. In keeping with the spirit of the Making All Things New process, Cardinal Dolan has asked that these new
proposals be shared with the appropriate clusters and the archdiocesan advisory group so as to solicit their input. These will eventually also be reviewed by the priest
council of the archdiocese before a final decision is reached. It is hoped that these new proposals will be acted upon soon so that final decisions are reached over the
next several months.
Cardinal Dolan praised the efforts of the men and women who worked to develop the recommendations and suggestions that formed the basis of his
decisions. “I am grateful to the parish core team members, who gave so much of their time and wisdom in helping us plan for the future, and to the members of the
advisory group who took the work of the parish clusters and developed the recommendations that were presented to me at the beginning of the summer. It would have
been impossible to reach this point without the thoughtful contributions of our parish core teams, the advisory board, and the priest council, all of whom approached their
work patiently, prayerfully, and prudently,” he said.
Bishop John O’Hara, an auxiliary bishop of the archdiocese, who has directed the Making All Thing New process, acknowledged that, while change and
transition often call for sacrifice, it was necessary for the archdiocese to exercise good stewardship in using its resources, including its priests, to carry out its mission. He
said, “We have heard from our people the anxiety they feel that they not be ‘abandoned’ after this process has concluded. The parish is where they come in life’s happiest
moments, like a wedding, first communion, or baptism, and where they turn when facing difficulties and hard times. So, there is an understandable sense of loss,
particularly for those merged parishes where we have announced that Masses and sacraments will no longer be regularly celebrated at one of those churches as a result
of the merger. It is now up to us, in the next phase of this process, to work with those parishes that will merge with neighboring parishes. I also want to assure those
Catholics in some of the more economically challenged areas of the archdiocese that this is definitely not in any way going to take away from the needed and necessary
programs and initiatives in service to the less fortunate.”
Cardinal Dolan emphasized that, while the next pastoral and canonical steps must still be determined for the utilization and possible disposition of certain
churches and unused buildings, the work of the Church in serving its people must and will go on. He said, “It is imperative that we continue to find new ways of meeting
the spiritual, education, charitable, and human needs of the people of God of this archdiocese. The archdiocese has long been a leader in providing affordable housing,
and as part of our on-going discussions with the City of New York, we will now be able to explore several new sites as possible locations for housing. Caring for people
with special needs is an ever-increasing ministry, and the archdiocese will look into new and creative ways to accomplish this as well.”
Because of the large amount of data reviewed for each parish, the thoroughness of the input from the local parishes and clusters, and the comprehensive
study that led to the recommendations of the advisory group, only previously non-considered information and material that could have a significant impact on a parish will
be accepted and evaluated, so as to determine whether a change in the initial recommendation is needed.
Making All Things New does not conclude with today’s announcement. A plan for implementation has been developed which will include pastoral teams to
work with any parish that is affected by mergers. Although the timing of transitions will be made on a parish-by- parish basis, it is anticipated that most changes will be
implemented prior to August 1, 2015.
In closing, the cardinal expressed his hope for the future. He said, “One thing that has impressed me about Catholics in this archdiocese is their ability to
come together in trying times. That was brought home to me most vividly during the period when schools needed to close under Pathways to Excellence. Despite the
sadness many felt in losing their school, everyone came together and worked to do what was best for our children, the schools, and the Church. Or, look at how we came
together at Hurricane Sandy. I am confident that this same spirit will carry us through the next phase of Making All Things New, as the Archdiocese of New York begins a
new chapter of serving Jesus and his followers in faithfulness and in love. Jesus is in charge, and He will never let us down.”
Dear St. Peter’s Parishioners,
As you read, the Archdiocese of New York is in the process of merging and consolidating parishes due to
financial constraints as well as an overall lack of available clergy to minister to them. St. Peter’s Parish has
overcome many challenges throughout its 182 year history established in 1832 by Irish immigrants. In 1965, it lost
its venerable church on Mill Street in Poughkeepsie, now Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, and was moved to a
plot of land on the border of the Town of Poughkeepsie and Hyde Park. Due to financial difficulties the parish was
unable to build a formal church on that site and was without a consecrated place of worship for 35 years until 1999.
In 1999, the parish acquired and restored at a cost of $500,000 the Chapel of Our Lady of the Rosary through the
generosity of you, the parishioners. The Chapel of Our Lady has restored the parish to its former prestige and was
named by Catholic New York newspaper, the “Treasure of Hyde Park.” St. Peter’s Parish enrollment increased
from 750 worshiping parishioners at five Masses in 1998 to now 1200, including 300 children, at six Masses, five of
which are at Our Lady of the Rosary Chapel. Our weekly collection went from $3,000 to now over $10,000
between all the collections, the Cardinal’s Appeal from $8,000 to now $50,000, our Baptisms from ten a year to
now nearly 100 a year, our Weddings from only one or none a year for thirty-five years to now about 30 a year, the
most weddings in Dutchess County. Finally, donations from wills nearly zero for many years to now nearly $2
million dollars during the last fifteen years with $750,000 in a protected 50 year trust. This will is protected and
only the interest may be used for parish expenditures at the discretion of the pastor. St. Peter’s Parish intends to
use the interest from this will to pay its outstanding debts to the Archdiocese incurred during its years before the
acquisition of the Chapel.
The greatest challenge in recent years was St. Peter’s School. In November of 2010, St. Peter’s School was
placed at risk of closure by the Archdiocese. It was your generosity, support and prayers that lead to its survival. St.
Peter’s School, the oldest Catholic Elementary School in America, is the only school of the original 35 schools put
at risk in 2010 that remains in existence. It was a tremendous undertaking to raise the needed funds not just one
year but for three consecutive years. The average yearly deficit for the school was $250,000 a year or $750,000
over the three years for teachers’ salaries and benefits in addition to vendor bills. The end result was success. You,
the parishioners, raised most of the funds for teachers’ salaries and benefits with the only deficit being vendor bills
which we are paying with the first Sunday second collection.
The last year of the three year pledge drive to save St. Peter’s School was the most challenging year. The
amount of donations received from pledges had dropped off from the previous two years but the risk of closure was
still present. The church and cemetery had to supplement heavily the reduced pledges in order to pay the teachers’
salaries and benefits. This has lead to a large outstanding debt of $90,000 mainly in heating oil. Last year at this
time, the parish attempted to tackle this debt by reducing some parish services such as music but that was not
enough. The finances only worsened last winter due to the deluge of snow and frigid temperatures which resulted
in more heating oil usage then budgeted and more plowing.
As your new pastor the last piece of news I want to deliver is bad news but these are the facts. Theparishioners of this venerable parish, the Mother Church of the Hudson Valley, have a history of extraordinarygenerosity. This outstanding generosity has also lead to a tradition of full transparency as it relates to its finances.St. Peter’s is the only parish I can think of that has an entire page of its weekly bulletin devoted to finances. Wehave seen that the Archdiocese is taking measures to consolidate and merge parishes that it views too weak toremain financially independent. It is my responsibility to ensure St. Peter’s Parish continues its 182 year history. I
Dear Fr. Curley,We will continue the tradition of extraordinary generosity to St. Peter’s Parish and Our Lady of the
Rosary Chapel with our enclosed needed donation of $300.

am requesting from each of our attending families a one time donation of $300 to eliminate this deficit and alongwith it any doubts regarding our ability as a parish to not just survive but thrive in this new age. Generosity andsacrifice are a cornerstone of this parish and the Chapel of Our Lady in which it now celebrates the sacrifice of theMass. The story of its construction and dedication were told to me and I share it now with you who like myself arenew to this parish.
Story of a Nun and a Chapel One hundred and forty four years ago in a great four storey brown stone mansion in lower Manhattan, not
far from City Hall and on the spot where the Chrysler Building now stands was born a baby girl named Anne into awealthy merchant family. At the age of seventeen she told her millionaire socialite parents that she felt called to bea nun. Anne’s father protested and told her if she did he would never speak to her again and that she would be cutout of his will.
On the day that the Sisters came for Anne her mother and brothers kissed her goodbye while her fatherstayed in his room and in those days it was certainly a goodbye as once you entered the Convent you were seldompermitted to visit home unless it was a funeral or someone was dying. Anne was born in 1867, she entered theConvent in 1884 at the age of seventeen, in 1896 her father died when she was twenty nine. When his will wasread out to the shock of all present, Anne, who was not present, was to receive from her father as much as herthree brothers received which was five million dollars. Anne, since she took the vow of poverty, willingly gave thefive million to the Sisters of Mercy with only one request that they would use it to build orphanages, which theydid. The first one built was in Tarrytown.
Anne worked as a nun and a nurse ministering to the poor souls that were suffering from tuberculosis andmental disturbances on Blackwell Island now Roosevelt Island in New York City. She would soon come down withtuberculosis at the young age of thirty eight twenty one years after she entered the Sisters of Mercy. Anne joinedher father in the Mystery of God’s Heaven on April 13 , 1905 in a little room at St. Catherine’s Convent on 163th rd
Street in New York City. Anne was buried in the Sisters of Mercy section of Calvary Cemetery not far from herfather. Her three brothers were so moved by Anne’s life of service, sacrifice, suffering, death, and giving up a lifeof fortune that they wanted to donate money to have something useful and beautiful built to honor her memory. Asyou probably know Our Lady of the Rosary Chapel was what was built by them and as you also may know her namewas Sister Mary Loretta Smith which the marble plaque hanging on the wall in Our Lady of the Rosary Chapel wallhas told us for over one hundred years.
Gratefully in Our Lady,Fr. Patrick Curley
A Reading from the Book of the Prophet Ezekiel
The angel brought me back to the entrance of the temple, and I saw water flowing outfrom beneath the threshold of the temple toward the east, for the façade of the temple was toward theeast; the water flowed down from the southern side of the temple, south of the altar. He led me outsideby the north gate, and around to the outer gate facing the east, where I saw water trickling from thesouthern side. He said to me, “This water flows into the eastern district down upon the Arabah, andempties into the sea, the salt waters, which it makes fresh. Wherever the river flows, every sort of livingcreature that can multiply shall live, and there shall be abundant fish, for wherever this water comes thesea shall be made fresh. Along both banks of the river, fruit trees of every kind shall grow; their leavesshall not fade, nor their fruit fail. Every month they shall bear fresh fruit, for they shall be watered bythe flow from the sanctuary. Their fruit shall serve for food, and their leaves for medicine.”

A Reading from the first Letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians
Brothers and sisters: You are God’s building. According to the grace of God given to me,
like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building upon it. But each one must be
careful how he builds upon it, for no one can lay a foundation other than the one that is there,
namely, Jesus Christ. Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God
dwells in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for the temple of
God, which you are, is holy.
Lector: The Word of the Lord. People: Thanks be to God.
A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Saint JohnPeople: Glory to you, O Lord.
Since the Passover of the Jews was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
He found in the temple area those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves,
as well as the money-changers seated there.
He made a whip out of cords and drove them all out of the temple area, with the sheep and oxen,
and spilled the coins of the money-changers
and overturned their tables, and to those who sold doves he said,
“Take these out of here, and stop making my Father’s house a marketplace.”
His disciples recalled the words of Scripture,
Zeal for your house will consume me.
At this the Jews answered and said to him,
“What sign can you show us for doing this?”
Jesus answered and said to them,
“Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up.”
The Jews said, “This temple has been under construction for forty-six years,
and you will raise it up in three days?”
But he was speaking about the temple of his Body.
Therefore, when he was raised from the dead,
his disciples remembered that he had said this,
and they came to believe the Scripture and the word Jesus had spoken.

Come, Holy Ghost
Come Holy Ghost, Creator Blest,
And in our hearts take up Thy rest;
Come with Thy grace and heav'nly aid
To fill the hearts which Thou hast made,
To fill the hearts which Thou hast made.
O Comforter to Thee we cry,
Thou heav'nly Gift of God most high;
Thou fount of life and fire of love,
And sweet anointing from above,
And sweet anointing from above.
Praise be to Thee Father and Son,
And Holy Spirit, with them one;
And may the Son on us bestow
The gifts that from the Spirit flow,
The gifts that from the Spirit flow.
Entrance
Jesus, My Lord, My God, My All
Jesus, my Lord, my God, my all!
How can I love Thee as I ought?
And how revere this wondrous gift,
So far surpassing hope or thought?
Refrain:
Sweet Sacrament, we Thee adore!
Oh, make us love Thee more and more.
Oh, make us love Thee more and more.
Had I but Mary's sinless heart
To love Thee with, my dearest King,
Oh, with what bursts of fervent praise,
Thy goodness, Jesus, would I sing!
Refrain
Oh! See upon the altar placed
The Victim of divinest love!
Let all the earth be low adore,
And join the choirs of heav’n above.
Refrain

Lift High the Cross
Refrain
Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim,
Till all the world adore His sacred Name.
Come Christians, follow where our Savior trod,
Our King victorious, Christ, the Son of God.
Refrain
Led on their way by this triumphant sign,
The hosts of God in conquering ranks combine.
Refrain
All newborn followers of the Crucified
Bears on their brows the seal of Him Who died.
Refrain
Concluding
Just As I Am
Just as I am, without one plea,
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bid'st me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God, I come! I come!
Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot;
To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
Just as I am, though tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt;
Fighting within, and fears without,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind;
Sight, riches, healing of the mind;
Yea, all I need, in Thee to find,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!

Sign of PeaceIn keeping with health recommendations, St. Peter’s Parish traditionally does not offer the sign of peace during the fluseason from the first or second Sunday of November to the first Sunday of May nor at the 12noon or 5pm Masses on
Sunday weekly for those who may be more susceptible to illness (i.e. elderly or very young). This is being done becausesometimes people do not know if they are carriers of the flu virus. Most viral and bacterial diseases are transmitted from
hand to hand contact. The United States Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, Georgia reports that the flu is theseventh leading cause of death especially with the elderly and very young in the United States. It is in keeping with a
Christian attitude that we act responsibly dealing with health issues.
November Contribution Envelope Errors
In error, on Sunday, November 30 , the envelope printing company did not include ath
yellow Archdiocesan Fee for the Six Dutchess County Regional Catholic Schoolsenvelope. Envelopes will be provided at the entrances to the Chapel. That same week an
extra red Emergency Maintenance Envelope was included that can be disregarded.

Prayer of Intercession to St. Martin of Tours
Patron Saint of Soldiers on Veterans’ Day
Blessed saint, You were born under pagan ways but since your childhood you
were chosen to be a Prince of the Church and , as Bishop of Tours, many souls
were redeemed and liberated from the satanic forces through your prayers,
austerities and blessings.
We humbly ask for your intercession before Our Lord Jesus Christ for ourselves
and the brave men and women of our armed services because we want to be
worthy of the grace and mercy of the Holy Spirit that lead us from darkness to
light into the eternal kingdom, for ever and ever. Amen.

is then signed by an usher and a sacristan. The Trustees and six other people all together open the sealed bank bag at a designated time and count, record and reseal the donations in a new bank bag. The new sealed bank bag
is then transferred to the bank where it is unsealed by the bankers. Any monies withdrawn from the bank account for bills is only done by way of a checking account. A copy of each check is then sent by computer to the Archdiocese
for verification.
The Poor Boxes are located on
the exit walls. There is $5,114.14
currently in the Poor Box
Account.

*Not paid due to loss of students during those years even though St. Peter’s parishioners had to cover the deficit of the 1.2 m illion dollars needed every year for the teachers’ salaries and benefits which deficit was usually
around $300,000. Archdiocese originally forgave the 1975-1999 school debt but then recently and unexpectedly re-billed us for it. This debt will be paid also from the interest of a $700,000 fifty year trust bequeathed to the
school by M arguerite M arconette. If we m ake our goal for the 5 Sunday second collection and an annual return of 4% this should be paid in ten years. Updated 6/22/14th

Thanksgiving Food Gifts
We will be giving food certificates to needy families both in our school and in our public school
religion classes. We would like to give $100 food gift certificates to 20 needy families from our
parish all of whom have children either in our school or CCD. You may make your donations by
way of the poor boxes located on the walls of our entrances at either the School or the Chapel. Do
not bring in turkeys or food as we feel the families would prefer to use the money gift certificates to
buy the things they feel they need.
Please help support our bulletin by letting businesses that yousupport know that they can place ads for $130/6months or
$250/year, a savings of $10. Please call 845-452-8580 ext. 120for advertising information.
We are depending upon you, our parishioners, to help fill these empty boxeswhich will help cover our costs for writing, printing, and distributing this
weekly bulletin.

traditional ground burial. The total cost for a crypt for two persons is a much lower cost than for
a burial for two in the cemetery grounds. The Mausoleum is heated and cooled, a beautiful
chapel with a solid granite altar, and comforting resting place for your loved ones. The
Mausoleum Chapel Sales Committee of St. Peter’s Parish is available to assist you with the
mausoleum burial needs of either yourself or your loved ones. Call 452-8580 ext. 115 and leave
