On Saturday, November 2, 2013, approximately 50 members of the St. Simon Slovak Community, led by Fr. Kristi\u00e1n Libant, CM, made a pilgrimage in their Slovak tradition to Our Lady of Sorrows Slovak Catholic Cemetery for an All Souls\u2019 Day memorial mass and devotions to the deceased. The Queen of Heaven Mausoleum Chapel in Hillside, IL was the location for the mass. After the mass, the group made their way to the Our Lady of Sorrows Statue and Cemetery located within Queen of Heaven\u2019s cemetery, for Prayers and Devotions to the deceased. Afterwards, several members visited individual graves for their own personal remembrances. Consecrated in 1923, Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Cemetery serves the Slovak Catholic Community and continues in this role, while being administered by the office of Queen of Heaven Cemetery. Its creation was largely due to the efforts of the late Monsignor Victor Blahunka, Pastor of Sacred Heart Slovak Parish in Chicago.<\/p>\n
