Joan’s Cemetery News
The First Catholic Slovak Ladies Association (FCSLA) donated a new sign for the old Sacred Heart Slovak Cemetery on William St. in Plains. Founded in 1899 by the Rev. Joseph Murgas, the cemetery had no sign to identify it. Now it has! Joan designed this sign with the help of Fr. Ken and Magdalen Iskra that was made and installed by FASTSIGNS. Thanks to the FCSLA for this donation.
Many of the headstones at the cemetery are over 100 years old and are toppled over and broken in pieces. Joan has started a new project getting some headstone repairs made to help restore and beautify the cemetery. One of the headstones being repaired dates back to 1899.
