St. John the Baptist Catholic Church recently received a columbarium from an anonymous donor. The columbarium is dedicated to the generations of families interred in St. John’s cemetery, whose earliest members immigrated from Germany and joined the young parish after it organized in 1857.

The Columbarium dedication ceremony will be Sunday, August 16, at 3 p.m. The cemetery is located on the north side of U.S. 24, east of New Haven, near the city limits.
