The Cenotaph, erected in the St. Norbert Cemetery, was an over-grown, long forgotten homage to the thirteen men who fought and died in World War I and who were connected to the St. Norbert area.
In 2008, Art Bloomfield, long-time St. Norbert resident, took a closer look at the overgrown monument while walking his young grandson to preschool. Soon after, he and his family made it their personal mission to ensure that the cenotaph and those thirteen men whose names are etched in stone were forgotten no more.
Celebrate and honour these men at the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month.
Thank you to all who joined us in person and through our live streamed St. Norbert Remembrance Day service
on November 11th, 2024 at 10:45 AM to honour the
fallen soldiers commemorated on the cenotaph in the St. Norbert Cemetery.
With apologies for the technical difficulties at the beginning of the recording, we are proud to make available,
the livestreamed service, on an on-going basis, so people can see it whenever they wish.
Lest We Forget
