Banner was not provocative to Christians….

North Easton, MA.- There were lots of deer tracks but no living soul on our arrival at the walled cemetery where “Rosary Priest” Fr. Patrick Peyton is buried. There was only the lonely sound of the wind sighing through the pine trees, which are so common in the beautiful state of Massachusetts. The snow, more than shin deep, had covered the dozens of grave markers of the priests and brothers of Holy Cross Church.
Had it not been for the tiny American flags blowing in the wind, we would have missed the grave markers covered in snow. Half of the brothers and priests buried in the red brick, walled off cemetery had served their country in the Korean and Second World wars. Only the flags recognizing their service, stood out in the snow. With no map for guidance, finding Fr. Peyton’s grave was not going to be easy.
