Christmas Decoration Removal - Greensburg

Catholic Cemetery If you wish to retain your Christmas decorations from your loved ones graves, please remove the decorations by

Thursday, February 15. Anything left in the cemetery

past February 15 will be discarded by cemetery

staff. Thank you for your cooperation.

Christmas Beauty The Church this year was exceptionally beautiful.

This was due to the work of parishioners who

worked to get ready for Christmas and then to put

Christmas away. I want to thank Pamela and

Matthew Rashilla and their three sons, Cole,

Wade and Lucas. I also want to thank Patrice and

Stephen Ferlan and their children, Alexander,

Emma Mai, Colin and Goran. I thank Karen Erbe

and her two grandsons, Kaden and Connor Faas.

Your work made for beautiful Christmas Masses

and services.
