All of the saints suggested were wonderful candidates. This group seems to work well an be relatively balanced. Several saints were have chosen for the 2019 tour have been on the 'potential' list for years. We will keep all of the suggested saints for the next tour.

Our next step is to recruit the actors to portray each saint. If you have the name suggestions, contact Scott Walcker 651-592-3349 or elimscemetery@gmail.com

As we find actors to fill the saints roles, we need YOU to step forward and provide pictures, tell us stories, remembrances, etc., of the saints. This is one of the best parts of the tour... hearing the stories and finding out more about the saints lives!

Happy Easter! God bless the saints that have given us such a rich history!
