St. Boniface Memorial Day Field Mass Goes Virtual This Year

St. Boniface Cemetery traditionally holds a Memorial Day field mass to remember those who died in service to their country.

But, this is 2020 and everything's different.

While all Catholic Cemeteries will be open to visitors on Monday, masses will be available only online beginning at 8:30am.

Services will be offered in English, Polish and Spanish, and can be accessed at www.CatholicCemeteriesChicago.org.

Visitors to cemeteries are asked to wear face masks and gather in groups of ten or fewer people.

  1. I lived on the dead end street, Glenwood , in the 4918 north
    building that ended with St. Boniface Cemetery's wall; of course we learned to climb it and that became our playground of tombstones; we found a few feet down the wall was a way to get into the back lot of Essanay Film studio; little did we know that Charlie Chaplain made his first film's there.
