Saint Ann's Cemetery
Belcourt, Rolette County, North Dakota, USA
"The old cemetery was becoming inadequate for the parish. The staff and St. Ann's knew that a new cemetery must be proposed. About a half mile from the Mission, a site was chosen [1957-1958]. The Chippewa have a great devotion to their deat. Appreciation for the new cemetery showed their great reverence for the departed loved ones of the parishioners. The Visitor walked carefully through the new cemetery and admired the well-kept graves and the touch of devotion each grave had received.
In 1962, the American Legion, Lilley Dionne Post, came forward with a very generous gift toward donating a monument for the cemetery where so many veterans are buried. The monument is an altar on which stands a huge crucifix with statues of Mary and St. John beneath the cross. On Sunday, July 8, 1962, this monument was dedicated with the Legion members in attendance."
