Christ the King Parish cemeteries — Calvary Cemetery in Skowhegan and St. Sebastian Cemetery in Madison — are set to close for the winter in October or first snowfall.
All decorations — including pots, holders, saddles, gazing balls and flags — must be removed by Monday, Oct. 30, or the attendant will dispose of them.
Christmas trees, breakable ornaments and statues, lawn decorations, toys, and all types of solar lights are not permitted.
Without notice to the easement holder, the parish reserves the right to remove and dispose of any memorials or decorations that are left at the cemetery after Oct. 31.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
