CELEBRATING MEMORIAL DAY
  
  
Memorial Day is traditionally marked by visits to war memorials and cemeteries as well as events such as picnics and sporting events.  Here are some additional ways to honor our military heroes:
  
  1. Join Diocese of Phoenix Catholic Cemeteries and  Mortuaries for Memorial Day Masses.
  2. Visit a cemetery and place flowers or flags on the graves of those who died in military service.
  3. Fly your United States flag at half staff until noon      (Memorial Day is a day of National Mourning).
  4. Attend other religious services at your parish or in your community.
  5. Visit war memorials.
  6. Wear a patriotic pin (DOPCC&M will have "angel pins" with the American flag imprinted on them at our Memorial Day Masses).
  7. Commit to assisting the disabled veterans and the children and widows of those who died.
  8. Participate in the "National Moment of Remembrance" at 3:00 local time - pause to think upon the meaning of the day.
  
We hope that you will join us for Memorial Day Mass at one of the Diocese of Phoenix Catholic Cemeteries and Mortuaries locations.  See the schedule of masses in this newsletter for one close to you.
