Hello everyone,
I hope everyone is in good health and ready for the coming fall season.
(my favorite ;-)
I am submitting two picture reports.
#1. is of the highlights of the restoration work in the OWC this year 2021 which I also sent to the MHS.

and
#2 Pictures taken Aug 25 2021of our continuing problem of the 40+ monuments in the front rows of Sect B & D
https://st-boniface-owc.weebly.com/owc-graves-needing-topsoil.html
I'm sure everyone will agree that this problem must be fixed quickly before these very large monuments fall over and are damaged.
I suggest we get a quote from LP Landscape Plus (enjoyoutdoorliving.ca) in Weissenburg. They are very reasonably priced. I suggest they go in with a crew and do it all very quickly - in and out - and seed or sod after they fill it.
This is the right thing to do and I will be pleased to help $$$.
This completes the major restoration work in the OWC for me.
I will continue to straighten monuments and the cement calking on monuments with crucifixes etc.
I have also included Father Grayson Hope in this report who showed some interest in the OWC last fall. Welcome Father.
All the very best

The Following pictures show most of the graves that desperately need topsoil to be placed around the bottom covering the foundation.
Soon the foundations will have become exposed allowing water underneath which once undermined will allow the monument to fall forward. Many have already been allowed to become exposed and monument movement is now obvious.

More monuments were included in this report on Sept 5th from Section D and the large Crucifixation .
