General Announcements 

All are invited to honor miscarried babies during burial service at Holy Trinity Cemetery in New Albany on May 17

A burial service for miscarried babies will take place at the outdoor pavilion of Holy Trinity Cemetery, 2473 Green Valley Road, in New Albany, at

4 p.m. on May 17. All are invited to come to the service to honor the souls of these little lives.

The service is offered by New Albany Catholic Cemeteries (NACC) for babies miscarried at Baptist Floyd Health in New Albany since November 2023. To date, this charitable, donor-supported effort has seen to the dignified burial of 354 souls.

The cremated remains of each baby are buried in small, individual boxes donated and built by members of the Knights of Columbus Cardinal Ritter #1221 Council in New Albany. Each box is marked and recorded, then placed in a mass grave at Holy Trinity Cemetery.

As a division of the Catholic, Irish and pro-life Ancient Order of Hibernians with some members residing in New Albany, the Fr. Abram J. Ryan Division 1 in Louisville is also a major contributor to this charitable effort to honor the dignity of these

pre-born children.

The pavilion is at the center of the far west side of Holy Trinity Cemetery.

For more information or to donate toward this charitable effort, contact Teri Popp at teri.ccna@gmail.com or 812-944-0417.
