It's time to provide an update about upcoming events in the cemetery and at St. Luke's during the month of May.

While I know that many of you on the e-mail list don't live in the Victoria area, please share this e-mail with family members who live in the area.

The Old Cemeteries Society will hold a tour of St. Luke's Churchyard on May 4th starting at 2 pm.

The tour will feature the stories of the farmers, florists, and gardeners who are resting in St. Luke's Cemetery. Thank you to the descendants and friends, who have offered to tell the stories of their family members. All of your stories will make for a very interesting tour! The fee for the tour is $5.

While this isn't a cemetery event, we know that many of you enjoy history and hearing about St. Luke's history, so you are invited to a Vintage Fashion Show and Tea.

In honour of St. Luke’s 165^th anniversary, Vintage Fashion Showcase will present Local History Through Fashion from 1860 to 1980.

Afternoon Tea will be served, featuring a selection of delicious baked goodies. There will be door prizes.

Tickets are $25 per person, and need to be purchased in advance by contacting events@stlukecedarhill.ca.

We have picked dates in the spring and early summer for some cemetery cleanup mornings.

We will be holding our cemetery cleanups on the second Saturday of the month this year in May, June, and July.

Our first cleanup date will be Saturday, May 17^th from 9 - 11:30 am.

Other dates will be June 14^th and July 19^th. 

Please mark these dates on your calendars. Many hands make light work. If you are able to come, even to help for a short time, your help will be greatly appreciated.

Hope to see you on May 17^th.

This e-mail list was compiled from contact information St. Luke’s Cemetery Committee has regarding descendants, family members, and friends of people buried in St. Luke’s Cemetery. 

The e-mail list is used to send out newsletters and information about special events regarding the cemetery at various times throughout the year. If you do not wish to be on this list to receive these occasional updates, please reply to this e-mail and let me know and I will take you off the list.

We also encourage you to visit the Cemetery pages of St. Luke's website. Click on the Read More button below. The Cemetery section at the website includes links to a database of veterans buried in St. Luke's Cemetery, stories of the people resting in the cemetery, and a database with names and plot locations.
