Welcome to the Holy Cross Cemetery's Wreaths Across America Page. On December 17, 2022, the Quiet Corner Veterans Support Coalition answered the call with the help of our entire community to bring Wreaths Across America to Killingly. We are thankful for the Town of Killingly, all of our emergency services departments, the Danielson Elks BPOE 1706 and the Elks Riders of BPOE 1706 along with multiple business and our very own Killingly Business Association and it's wonderful members who raised awareness, provided sponsorships and volunteers to bring our mission to our community. In less than 2 months we were able to honor a little more than 500 veterans laid to rest on this sacred ground. This year we are dedicated to ensuring every veteran laid to rest here will have a veteran’s wreath laid on their grave stones to honor their service and sacrifice. We will say their name so they are never forgotten. Please join us on this humbling and heartwarming mission.
We also had multiple youth groups who volunteered their time to assist in passing out wreaths, setting up our ceremony, breaking down boxes and welcoming guests to name just a few things that were quite helpful in making our day a success. It takes a whole community effort to bring this mission forward each and every year. We are happy to have them all back again in 2023.
On Saturday, December 16, 2023 at Noon, Wreaths Across America will be at Holy Cross Cemetery 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.
Please help our location lay wreaths at as many graves as possible by clicking the red "Sponsor" button. Or, if you would like to volunteer to participate in the wreath laying ceremony, please click the “Volunteer” button next to the cemetery name below, and don't forget to click the "Invite" button to invite your friends and family to join you.
