Our Annual Outdoor Mass and Picnic

St. Charles Parish Cemetery has stood on the banks of the Assiniboine River since 1868. Once a year the parishioners gather there to celebrate Mass around grave stones marking the final resting place of many of our friends and family. Thank you to Ron Desilets and his volunteers for keeping the cemetery in excellent shape - cutting the grass, planting trees and flowers, repairing the headstones, requires many hours of hard work.

After Mass the parishioners relocated by the river, under the beautiful oak trees and enjoyed a picnic. The children participated in organized games including tug-of-war. Thanks to the Knights of Columbus for the hot dogs and hamburgers and the ladies of the parish for the salads, baked beans and dainties.
