Wreaths Across America at St. James' Parish

This year, St. James' Parish will participate in the Wreaths Across America program which started at Arlington Cemetery to honor some of the older, less visited, graves, and is now in over 1,000 locations across the country. Thanks to some very generous supporters, we have already raised enough funds to place up to 100 wreaths on gravesites in the parish churchyard.

Please join us for a wreath ceremony on December 17th at noon. These ceremonies all coincide with the laying of the wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Washington, DC. Following the ceremony, we will need help placing the wreaths. We will also need help removing the wreaths at 10 AM on January 7th. For additional information, or to volunteer to help, please contact Ashley at Artemis914@aol.com.
