Monkshill Cemetery – The Annual Blessing of the graves takes place on Sunday 11th May at 7.00pm.

You are asked to bring a small container of water with you which will be blessed during the service. Use this water to sprinkle your family grave at the appropriate time.

A church gate collection will be taken up as you enter or leave St. Mary’s cemetery. It takes £24,000.00 to maintain the cemetery each year. This does not include the cost of hiring the loudspeakers which is £1500.00.

Please be as generous as possible with your donations.
