Prior to the Mass, U.S. and Irish flags are placed on each gravesite; meet at the Old Hall at 7:00 am; suggest wearing old shoes as the grass is usually very wet. The Mass is in remembrance of all deceased veterans and loved ones, especially those buried in St. Mary’s Cemetery. Immediately following Mass, an AOH Honor Guard and Irish Piper will lead our priests and congregation on a procession throughout the Cemetery for the blessing of the graves.
