6 Management and Finance NOVEMBER A MONTH OF REMEMBRANCE Each year, during the month of November we take time to pause and remember those who have gone before us and now wait reuniting on a yet distant shore. For many of us, the final resting place for our dearly beloved is the St. Peter Cemetery. The St. Peter Cemetery is a unique treasure of the City of New Iberia and within its boundaries are some of the most influential historical figures of our city and parish as well as those who gave tirelessly and selflessly for the care and well-being of others. The cemetery is currently able to be maintained by the gracious donations of so many of the parishioner and concerned citizens of New Iberia. However, there are many tombs in the cemetery that have no one to care for them either due to families who have moved away, or the person resting there may have been an only child and did not have a family of their own. Several years ago, we began a program of adopting a grave. By adopting a grave one can place flowers and offer prayers for the repose of the unknown person who is resting there. We ask that you prayerfully consider adopting a grave, if not financially, at least spiritually. During this month, we also have a special collection for the Cemetery Endowment Fund which is a vital financial component. The Cemetery Endowment Fund allows for monies to be collected and earn interest which is then available to assist in the perpetual up-keeping of the cemetery. Although this past year, there was a brief lapse in maintenance due to a personnel change, it is an eerie reminder of how quickly the cemetery could fall into disrepair if it is not properly funded. As Roman Catholics, we are taught that one of the Corporal Work of Mercy is burying the dead and by extension is also to keep the sacred space of the cemetery a fitting resting place for our beloved dead. We ask that you prayerfully consider financially supporting the cemetery if you are not currently. It is through your generous support that we will be able to keep this sacred space maintained and thus a fitting, beautiful resting place for our dearly departed and a public witness to the Catholicity that has so long defined the people of New Iberia.
