North of the church is the path to the cemetery.
A handsome black wrought iron gate has been installed at the entrance to the cemetery.
A free standing cross just inside the front gate.
Beautiful old budded crosses mark the graves of many pioneers in the area.
The cemetery with the church in the background.
A second free standing cross on the east side of the graveyard. This was both unusual and a delight to see in the cemetery.
There's a large open space in front of the cemetery with picnic tables and a bench. It was pretty chilly the day of my visit but I think in summer it would be a nice spot for a sandwich and coffee.
The church and cemetery sit on a twelve and a half acre plot of land that was donated by a parishioner.
Ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ Ukrainian Catholic Cemetery is at Carpenter, Saskatchewan.

Interesting addition of the picnic tables - don't think I've seen that amenity before.
ReplyDeleteMany of the smaller country cemeteries have picnic tables. Today I was out at Saint Margaret's Church and Cemetery in the Cypress Hills of Alberta and four people came to the cemetery for a two hour picnic and visit. It's good to see people living with life, death and all that goes on between.
