Caring for our Catholic cemeteries is far more labor-intensive than caring for a home lawn. Trimming around thousands of stones and mowing large, uneven areas takes many hours each week. If you're able to volunteer even a little time, your help would be a blessing.
Our greatest need right now is help with trimming around the markers. We are inviting families to consider adopting a small section of the cemetery and caring for it a few times each season. It's a simple way to honor loved ones, serve the parish, and keep our sacred grounds beautiful.
Your willingness to help also plays a real part in keeping maintenance costs down for the parish.
If you are interested, please talk to Deacon Pat at (920) 235-7412.
All decorations at the Catholic Cemeteries (Sacred Heart, Calvary, and Riverside Catholic Cemeteries) must be removed by September 30, 2026 for fall cleanup.
Items may be returned or replaced after November 1st. If you feel that something may be lost in the clean-up process, please remove it.
