Connie Durkin I am not writing concerning the parish itself, but I would like to comment on the cemetery. I do NOT live in Malone or NY state and have not been back home in several years. On a recent visit I went to the cemetery to visit the graves of my parents, sibling, grandparents, I was in absolute shock over the condition! The grass was about a foot high, weeds growing over the tombstones, moss all over them. It is disgusting and disrespectful! As a child I remember it was always so well taken care of and so pretty. Now it looks like an abandoned field with grave stones in it. Why is this happening and why is this acceptable? Why is there not a "caretaker" any longer? I recall the tags on grave stones "perpetual care" what exactly does that mean? Such a very sad, sad place! Whoever is the "in charge" person at Notre Dame should be very, very ashamed of the condition of the cemetery and the absolute disrespect for those former church members that are now laid to rest.
