http://www.slickpic.com/s/xWMMOOTUYOITDh/STJOHNCEMETERY?previewI visited St John Cemetery in Stratford CT last Memorial Day. Finally getting around to posting some pictures. It's an interesting cemetery in that both Orthodox and Catholics of Western and Eastern rite are buried there. Around town it's is thought of as the "Slovak" cemetery. There are lots of Slovaks in the greater Bridgeport/Stratford/Trumbull area. There are also about a dozen Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Rite Catholic churches in the area. Metropolitan Orestes Chornock is buried there.
