St. Joes Cemetery To Hold Ceremony

The Catholic Diocese is holding a special ceremonial mass this afternoon at St. Josephs Cemetery.

You'll remember the East Saint John resting place was the scene of vandalism earlier this year when close to 400 headstones were kicked over by one man upset about losing his girlfriend.

LeAnne Nogueria is Acting Manager of the Catholic Cemeteries and tells CHSJ News, this is another step in the healing process.

The ceremony will also pay tribute to Darryl Olsen, the former Cemetery Manager who spear-headed the restoration but passed away in an accident a few weeks ago.

The service gets started at two o'clock.
