In honor of our deceased military service men and women, Saint John’s hosts a special ceremony on Memorial Day at the Saint John's Abbey and Parish Cemetery.

 For the three days of the Memorial Day weekend, small United States flags will be placed at each of the 161 veterans’ grave sites at Saint John’s Abbey, parish, and alumni cemetery sections.

A memorial service will be held Monday, May 27th, at 11:15 a.m. at the cemetery. Volunteers from Saint John the Baptist Parish and members of the St. Joseph American Legion will conduct the ceremony, which will include prayer, a roll call of the deceased veterans here at Saint John’s, the playing of taps, and a military gun salute. Everyone is welcome to attend.
