Here are Notes that Alan J. MacKinnon CCE took from the Keynote speaker at
The Catholic Cemetery Conference
Keynote Session - Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Holiness Jon Leonetti Catholic Speaker, Author, Radio Host
What is life all about
Before you sleep forever in a cemetery
Who are you and how have you positively impacted humanity
What have you done to make the world a better place
Your Meaning, Reason, and Purpose
We are looking for happiness in everything that is less than us
It will never be enough to satisfy
Reorder relationships that are greater than us
Freedom – May you truly find it now
The ability to decide – make decisions
Choose willingly the good
I implore you to follow your heart and gut to make the right decisions every time
As Cemeterians, we have undertaken a great responsibility to serve the living human beings and their families and to take care of and respectfully honor the dead
Here is The Gardens’ Mission
To honor the customs and traditions of our families and recognize them as an important part of the healing process, to provide exceptional service and to maintain each individual resting place with immaculate care
Love is death to self
Putting others' needs before our own
Denying self-interests is the ultimate path to a happy and contented life
Try it and see if it works
Just start thinking more of others than we do ourselves
