During October, the month of the Most Holy Rosary, Catholic Cemeteries Association invites families to participate in a half-mile walking Rosary in honor of departed loved ones. We walk, we pray, we sing, and we remember. For those who cannot walk, or in case of rain, the Rosary will be prayed in the mausoleum or in the cemetery office. At the end of the Rosary, there is a brief candle lighting ceremony in remembrance of our dearly departed. This is a great communal prayer opportunity for families and for Rosary Prayer organizations in your parish. Whether walking or not, you can also honor your departed loved ones on our “In Remembrance” Wall. Submit names by September 30th to be included for the month of October. Pre-Register and/or submit Remembrance Names TODAY online at https://www.clecem.org/Events/WalkToRemember.aspx, by email (rabrams@clecem.org), by phone (Rhonda/216-930-4866), or by US mail (return the bottom portion of the flyer in any CCA office or mail to CCA PO Box 605310 Cleveland OH 44105).
