Today the Church celebrates the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul, Apostles. Since our celebration of the Paschal Triduum and the conclusion of Eastertide on Pentecost, the Church has continued its celebration with the highest solemnity on the days of Corpus Christi and Trinity Sunday. This Sunday is no different. The Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul honors the life, and especially the martyrdom, of these two great Apostles. Saints Peter and Paul were men who both experienced extraordinary receptions of grace in their lives. The conversion of Paul is well documented by Paul himself through the writings of Luke in Acts of the Apostles.

This week our spotlight will focus on our dedicated team of outstanding cemetery workers. Our parish is blessed to have some of the best. St. John Vianney Parish maintains ten cemeteries from Allagash to Eagle Lake. To keep these cemeteries maintained is a full-time job and requires a lot of demanding work. Thankfully, we have some incredible cemetery workers. They are Rodney Roy, Donald Pinette, Lucien Parent, and Bruce Morneault. From preparing grave sites, to maintaining the grounds, their tireless efforts provide families with a serene and dignified resting place for their loved ones. What they do is more than “just a Job” it is a service of compassion, ensuring that each farewell is met with the respect it deserves. As a parish community we extend our deepest gratitude to all of them for their dedication, hard work, and commitment. We are truly blessed that we have you all to maintain these sacred places. Thank you, Rodney Roy, Donald Pinette, Lucien Parent, & Bruce Morneault.
