St. Stephen's Parish Cemetery Committee

The Cemetery Committee was formed to provide much-needed maintenance and aesthetic improvement to the old cemetery located on West Street next to the St. Stephen's Parish Centre.

This committee has been in place since 2007. To date, there has been some fund-raising and donations of topsoil and so on.

If you have any questions or wish to contribute to the Cemetery Improvement Fund, you can contact Chairperson Joe Eckert at (709) 643-3043
