A local event is being held on Saturday, December 17 in Ottawa at the Saints Peter and Paul Cemetery located at 867 West Main Street. The ceremony begins at noon with wreath-laying following a short talk, a 21-gun salute, and TAPS. Names of veterans buried at the cemetery will be read while family, friends, and community place wreaths at more than 421 gravesites. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to participate in this special event.

On Wednesday they opened up a 101-year-old time capsule that was found in the cornerstone of the former school building that was torn down this summer. The capsule was wrapped up in a newspaper from 1921 and inside there was a letter from the pastor of the church, a few words from the bishop when they dedicated the former school building, and medals of Lady Mary, the patron saint of the school and emblems of the Sacred Heart.
