In preparation for events at San Jose II Cemetery, we are in the home stretch - and your help is still needed. The decorations of the cemetery will begin to happen tomorrow morning. The biggest task is lining the path from the front entrance to the cemetery with luminaries and glass candles. If you are able to contribute non -labled plain white prayer candles from Fiesta ($1.17 each), we are in need of those. Also needed are 500 or more brown or white paper bags with a 3.5 x 6 in base. Tomorrow, they will need to be laid out. We will need volunteers to decorate each of the 30 graves with candles and whatever flowers we have available. We understand that Central Market are the only retail source for marigolds. ProyectoTEATRO are providing SJ II with flowers, but they too are experiencing a shortage as well. We need volunteers to canvas the adjacent neighborhood and hand out prepared fliers door-to-door today (Nov 1) and tomorrow morning. We have 200 printed. You can mail: atxhispaniccemetery@gmail.com should you be able to contribute materially or physically. Please share with interested parties and thank you for your continued interests in events at San Jose II Cemetery.

Oh and a bit of history was discovered in preparation for Dia del lost Muertos. Check out atxhispaniccemetery on Instagram for details.
