Welcome to the St. Patrick's Cemetery - 1558 King St's Wreaths Across America Page. 

On December 14, 2024 at 12:00 pm (Wreath Placement Immediately Following Ceremony), Wreaths Across America will be at St. Patrick's Cemetery - 1558 King St to Remember and Honor our veterans through the laying of Remembrance wreaths on the graves of our country's fallen heroes and the act of saying the name of each and every veteran aloud.  Wreaths will also be placed at other cemeteries in Enfield.

Please help us lay wreaths at as many graves as possible by clicking the red "Sponsor" button.
