Cleanup of Rosa Cemetery in Arboles will take place in October

The Carmelitas of St. Peter-St. Rosa Catholic Church will hold a community fall cleanup of the historic Rosa Cemetery starting at 9 a.m. Oct. 21. The cemetery was created when Navajo Lake Reservoir flooded Rosa and caused its graves to be moved to the new site.

The cemetery is located at the south end of County Road 975, immediately to the left after the state border cattle guard.

Attendees are asked to wear gloves and hats and bring what they can, including rakes, shovels, weed-whackers and rider mowers.

Lunch will be provided by the Arboles Carmelitas. The event is open to all.
