Hurricane Season Prayer
Lord, in your wisdom and your grace please let the oceans rest
Leave not one single soul displaced by the end of this test
Please keep the Gulf Coast high and dry and spare the others, too
So all may bask beneath a sky of brilliant, crystal blue.
Lord, let the winds be calm and light with no oppressive force
Devoid this world the saddened plight of nature’s brutal course
Please guide the seas by your own hand should trouble start to brew
And lead each storm away from land ‘til this season is through.
Lord, in your mercy and your way please bless us in this time
With strength to face each coming day should there be hills to climb
Please keep the souls of all mankind held safely in your care
So no one shall be left behind – this is my humble prayer.

Planning for the Future

With any big decision in life, it is always helpful to research and consider options, and a final resting place is no exception. Whether you are preparing for a burial of a loved one or planning for a future burial, knowing in advance that a final resting place is secured can alleviate added emotional stress of family members when a death occurs. Many families are purchasing mausoleums or tombs as part of their legacy.  Here at St. Charles Borromeo Cemetery, we have mausoleum crypts and cremation niches, along with single door tombs available for purchase. We are in the process of building additional single and double door tombs. If you are interested in purchasing a mausoleum or tomb, or learning more about the cost, please call the Administration Office.
