Update on St. Meinrad Cemetery

St. Meinrad Cemetery Commission Chair Brian Greulich offers this update on projects completed or planned for the St. Meinrad Cemetery:

• The dead trees at the entranceway into the section will be removed by spring.

• Cleanup day is planned for Saturday, March 16, in conjunction with parish cleanup day.

• A flagpole will be installed at a location where an existing light will illuminate the flag at night.

• Getting quotes for repairs to the older metal crosses and their bases will take place this year.

• Work will begin to clean the older, tablet-style stones of algae and staining. Materials should arrive in time for cleanup day, if weather allows.

• Flush-mounted engraved stone gravesite row markers will be installed; we currently have samples to choose from.

• Planning is underway for annual or semi-annual fundraisers for ongoing cemetery expenses.

• Upcoming cemetery commission meetings are July 20 and September 22 at 10 a.m. in the Parish Office, Room G.

• The September 22 meeting is a joint meeting of both St. Boniface and St. Meinrad cemetery commissions, and genealogy will be added to the agenda.
