THIS CEMETERY:
St. Roch Cemetery was founded by Reverend P.L. Thevis in 1874. During one of New Orleans' Yellow Fever outbreaks, the patron saint of protection from epidemics, Saint Roch, was prayed to and was asked to protect the people of New Orleans during this epidemic.
At the center of that cemetery is a chapel. Inside that chapel, in a small room behind an iron gate, are rows of prosthetic legs, plaster feet, false teeth, and a few pairs of artificial eyeballs. The chapel, dedicated in 1867, honors St. Roch, who is associated with good health and healing.
THIS CHANNEL:
_________________________________________________________
The Angel face you see is the Haserot, named “The Angel of Death Victorious". The stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. Holding an extinguished torch upside-down, it represents a symbol of life extinguished. Wings are outstretched and the gaze is straight ahead.
IN THE END, DEATH ALWAYS WINS. LEST THE FACES NOT BE FORGOTTEN...
This channel is focused on casually walking and viewing a handful of the thousands of forgotten names and faces at various cemeteries near and afar. Seeing their faces up close. And when able, telling the stories behind their names.
Most graves are unknown and lost to history.
Some are famous.
And some infamous....
....and some with tragic endings.

St. Louis No. 1 Cemetery Episode will be released this coming Monday at 2PM Central time - EPIC!
Oooooh! Can't wait!
Your videos are wonderful and done with so much respect
Can't wait to see it! Thank You for taking me to New Orleans! In times when actual travelling is out of the question it means so much for me.
Can't wait!
Ready to indulge..
Those little sanctuaries are Stations of the Cross when you are doing the way of the cross the steps that Jesus had to walk on the way to his crucifixion. I taught at a Catholic school for almost 25 years and during Lent once a week we always went and did the way of the cross. Those are beautiful in that Cemetery. Thank you for showing several of them.❤🙏⛪
Happy first Friday of Lent, 2023! Not to be confused with First Friday…😅🙏🏻✝️
Wow, its like seeing lots of mini chapels, ( mini homes for the deceased). Just amazing. Look so beautiful.
Wonderful bits of history! The librarian here in my little town finally asked me what I was researching......I told her about your channel and now she is hooked also! Lol!
Very very cool Jane, thank you for referring. It’s wonderful to hear 😊
In Hungary, whole families are buried in one grave, and the grave looks like a single grave. Because the burial place has to be paid every 25 years, families take the coffins on top of each other. They are made of wood, so they don’t last too long, unfortunately. When there is no more space, families cremate and put to rest their loved ones in small urns in the ground. It is possible that many people in a relatively small place can rest in a similar way. Rest in peace! thanks for another interesting and awesome video! Love from Hungary! 💖
Very Interesting, I'm Hungarian, my maiden name was "Nagy", In 1955 during the revolution, my father sponsored 7 Hungarian men, They came to the USA without knowing English, they learned , they lived with us and when they felt secure enough they ventured out on their own, all were nice men, my father was a very good man, he really loved his native country
Its the same way in Holland. Also wooden coffins . And they put it on top if the other one
@@hellen__1 it's the same in England one grave, coffins on top of each other. I think the limit is 6 per grave have a family grave that was purchased in 1945 for the death of a year old child that would of been my auntie 🇬🇧🇺🇸
@@dawnnield8841 i gues its normal in Europe to do that , my parents are also in the same grave
I think that is so touching. In America familes are so speard apart also not much money to be made when sharing. My father was cremated and his plot allows for one more that is cremated but that was 40 years ago, so I am not sure if they still allow that. Thanks for sharing
I think you have discovered the technique to prevent Alzheimer's disease and dementia. Stay active and tell great stories! Seriously, your videos command the viewers' attention and provide a great learning experience. I look forward to your concluding video in this series. Stay safe and be well.
Thank you, quite a thoughtful compliment.
Fascinating & interesting video as always!!
When Ron first started talking about the dog bringing Saint Roche food I first heard a dog barking.
You are the Best My Friend...God Bless you!!
I just finished the Mt. Carmel Italian Bride, then you upload this one. I love it. What a day for me!!! Thank you.
Wow this Cemetary is packed with graves! It's amazing! As you said before. Each of these people have a story! To know all of these stories would take years!
The use of wooden coffins that do not last long make it possible to reuse the same plot for multiple burials
Thanks you my friend 💕💕💗😘
When I was in California once I went to a "healing session" in somebody's living room. You laid down on a table and I think 12 people put their hands on you at the same time. They didn't massage the skin, rather they concentrated on transferring warmth and healing to a given person. I definitely felt it working until I was at the point that I felt no pain whatsoever in any part of my body. So I think Jesus was on to something when he did it himself and told others they could do it to even better than Him.
Thanks for posting this. My maternal grandparents, buried eight years apart, share a single vault in the chapel wall of Saint Roch #2. Vaults were priced by height; the ones on the top and bottom rows were less expensive than those near the middle. Here are some comments, intended to be helpful, rather than to be taken as criticisms.
1. The name of the cemetery, and the street leading to it, is locally pronounced "rock," not "roach." I don't know how the ancient saint may have pronounced his own name, but in downtown (meaning downriver) New Orleans, I never heard "Saint Roch" pronounced any way but "Saint Rock."
2. As long as burials were in wood coffins (and they usually were in wood coffins in those old cemeteries), additional burials were permitted in wall vaults after at least a year. In that climate, the body and coffin would have deteriorated enough to permit cemetery workers to break up and shove everything to the rear of the vault, making room for a new coffin. They first removed the gravestone, then broke away the brick barrier behind it, then mortared in a new brick barrier after they inserted the new coffin; then they re-attached the gravestone after the additional name and dates had been carved by a stonecutter..
3. For in-ground burials, additional burials in a single plot were permitted on much the same schedule as for wall vaults. Wood coffins were usually buried directly in the soil, without concrete vaults. It was easy to know when the wood coffins collapsed, because the mound of soil on top of the grave would noticeably drop. That could take less than a year in that sub-tropical climate. My paternal grandparents, plus three uncles, share a single in-ground plot in Greenwood Cemetery, none buried less than five years apart..
Multiple names on single-vault or single-plot New Orleans gravestones should not be interpreted as evidence that some were cremated. Partly for religious reasons, cremations were uncommon in New Orleans years ago. For similar reasons, Charity Hospital actually buried amputated limbs in its own cemetery. You probably saw painted plaster casts of limbs and other body parts stored at Saint Roch, representing cures to those body parts attributed to saintly miracles.
sorry, but I do my research and I disagree with you on pronunciation, I pronounced it the way most do. also I did not say "roach", I said at the intro twice the word pronounced "roke". and if it others pronounce it the way you say, Good Bless them! It is ALL SUBJECTIVE.
I knew that no matter which way I would say it, someone would have to try to correct me, (you being the only one out of 5,000 viewers)
so that tells me something...anyway, thanks for all the input here, I know it is in good spirit and respectful.
great day 😊
@@FacesoftheForgotten Thanks for your thoughtful comment regarding my comment. I didn’t intend to criticize your research or preparation. I only meant to add a purely-local observation, based on my recollections from more than half a century ago, when I grew up in that neighborhood. Even as a child, I doubted Saint Roch pronounced his own name like I heard it. Why didn’t he spell it “rock” if he pronounced it that way?
If you follow St. Roch Avenue towards the river, you’ll cross Burgundy Street, then Chartres Street. They were locally pronounced “bur-GUN-dee” and “charters.” Further downriver you’ll find Angela Avenue, which was locally pronounced “ann-JELLA.” A kitchen sink was a “zink.” When we said “New Orleans” we always said “or-luns,” but when we said “Orleans Parish” we always said “or-leens.”
I’ve been away too long to say whether such local pronunciations are still common. Most of the old families moved to suburbs; many younger residents came to New Orleans from elsewhere. If you’re still in (or around) that area, you might strike up a conversation with any older residents you run across, and ask about such things. You could start out by asking “where ya at?” That was the local equivalent of “how are you?”
Sincere best wishes. I look forward to your future videos.
@@morrisghill - no worries, I have a thick skin and I’m glad to know and I already did know you weren’t trolling or criticizing, but I get such flack sometimes I have to push back a little. Anyway great input here - lots of great information to digest. I hope a lot of people read this.
I do know a lot of our subscribers read the comments carefully as it’s almost like a bit of a social club.
All good - have a great weekend.
March 10th was our 31st. anniversary, and yes, "what was our present you ask? " We both were tested positive for Covid, Thank God we both had mild cases, his worse than mine, Yesterday he went to the hospital for a four hour treatment of "Anti-bodies" First 3 days of the Covid , cough, ache and pains plus horrible headaches, both of us are starting to feel better, Thank you for letting me cry on your shoulder Ron...I love all your video's, Thanks again
@Tragic Kingdom Warmest regards, Thank you
Hang in there. So glad to hear it’s a mild case. Let’s get this behind us!!
Stay strong!!!!
@Melanie E feel better♥️😢🙏🌷
@@FacesoftheForgotten Thank you Ron
@@debbiebutler3815 Thank you Debbie, it was appreciated
Ron you do such a wonderful job. Love the little back stories and your calm nature. To me, visiting cemeteries with you bring such varied emotions .. sad, peaceful, interesting, soothing, the awe in the beauty of the monuments and more ..just a whole bunch of good stuff rolled into your vids.
Well Said, and agreed ..🤗
It does look like a little village when first see it. Very nice stone work. I am thinking on those step graves if the bodies were not stacked on top of each other to save space. Interesting history you tell.
Very interesting story Ron, gave me chills. I have to say for some reason it's very disturbing to me to see that out in the element I don't know there's just something about the graves down south they give me a different feeling... than where I am in Ohio 🤷♀️ although I will be cremated because there's no way I'm going into the ground 😳 like when you were in Kentucky and I left you the message that I found it very peaceful there in the sun beams were coming through the trees do you get different feelings like that when you're going through the cemeteries? I guess if I lived there it would be natural to me but because we do our burials different here I'm used to that way. Regardless thank you for another very interesting story and gracing us with your presence it's always nice to see your smiling face 😊💕xxx stay safe and healthy 🙏🙏🙏
Oh most definitely, every cemetery touches the imagination a different way and leaves one to ponder.
Did u by chance see any cemeteries where people were living in? Ive seen a documentary about
some families living in these cemeteries and have for years. There were a least 100 people with
their children that made homes inside, surrounded by crypts. Totally bizarre! Great video!
@@jukeboxjaime8795 Maybe thats what I was thinking of lol coulda swore though it was New Orleans! Thank u for that :)
Actually it is true that in these cemeteries some homeless would live, not the these days.
But this did happen here also.
@@FacesoftheForgotten Thanks for the info! I thought so but started questioning it lol
I am from Philippines and yes there are people that live amongst the dead, mostly homeless caretakers and their family in which the caretaker gets paid by the family of the dead person, and they will be asked to clean it (mosolleums mostly) atleast everyday because there will be visitors any day, and maintain it. Most mosolleums have their own small kitchen and comfort rooms, because every nov 1and 2, we celebrate here all saints/souls day. So instead of going to and fro from their houses, the care takers bring along the family to the cemetery in order for the other members help clean the mosolleums. And if by chance, another family would love to hire their services, they are just nearby. The care takers and family are allowed to stay in the mosolleums as long as they do their duties and run errands for the family of the dead, and they don't make any trouble inside. The problem is, some care takers abuse the priveledge and they invite some bad people doing drugs and god knows what inside the cemetery, and it becomes the haven also for the teens to engage in some make shift room and do their "sexual" needs. But this only happens in public cemeteries, like the one we have in Manila, the capital of Philippines and it is notoriously known for dens of drug using people and some gamblings happening there too. The government in Manila, somehow allowed those people to live in public cemeteries but only if they don't break the law. Its like they are called urban squatters. Every now and then there are raids goin on, vice squads and all if the police are being tipped off with anything unlawful going on. There had been few documentaries also I've watched and its about how people living in cemeteries are able to find a "living" and the increasing number of pregnant teen agers living in cemeteries. I know some of you will find these really strange and creepy but yet as you know Philippines is a 3rd world country and these kind of poor living conditions happens here. Sorry if I'm not really good in explaining in English but I hope I shed light in this. Thank you and Ron, I love watching your video. You're one of the best so far, apart from Lamont at large and Harmin from Infamous crimes and locations. Have a nice day everyone! Much love, Jerymie from Philippines ❤️🇵🇭🤗
@@jerymie1336 thank u for the info. Thats very interesting but I am glad the homeless have a safe place to stay and also do the upkeep for the families
Loving all your shows and very moving stories ..Well explained on History and Deaths .Sending best wishes from Scotland UK...Stay Safe ..
I’m a new subscriber, I just love your videos!! Thank you!! The architecture of some of the tombs and gravestones are amazing!! I used to work for a monument company, doing the stenciling of the gravestones, and I know how much talent and work goes into creating them.
The statues you referred to are the stations of the cross on Good Friday people say the stations of the cross and stop at each station
yes, agree. I was raised Catholic, and of course, I liken it to the stations we see on the walls of church, the wall hung scriptures or pictures. I used to stare at them, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and up.
When you were looking at a plot such as for the Fontaine family (5 minute, 20 seconds in to video) , it probably would be too small for 6 or 7 caskets to be buried there. However if the departed had been cremated, I'm sure that you could bury MANY Cremation Urns in a plot that size. Perhaps that's how the family can afford to keep their loved ones together?
You may be right!!
Most of the “residents” in the family crypts were Catholic, so not cremated. What happens is that the heat causes the casket to disintegrate, when the next family member is placed crypt keepers remove the bad casket and bag prior remains, which are then replaced in the vault. The cycle keeps going, so that’s why there are so many names on one small vault. Our parish, St. Jude’s, is not to far from there on N. Rampart St.
@@nashagriffin28 - Yes I explained that in the wall vaults, but I think this comment above is referring to is the stepped grave, with dirt. There’s only enough room for one perhaps two people there so are they cremated? This is where they’re buried in the ground, stepped plot.
@@FacesoftheForgotten Gotcha! They would do the same. Placing the previous relative’s bones in the recently buried casket.
I don’t know how they fit so many bodies in those small areas. Unless it’s cremated remains. But I would go to a local mortuary and ask them that would be my solution to finding out. Another great walk thank you again.
Over time the bodies/caskets break down/decompose allowing for new family members to be placed into the plot. When it comes to the "oven tombs" plots they actually push a 10 foot pole into a hole in the bottom of the tomb pushing the remains into a large pit. Some believe that's where the saying "wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole" comes from. My family plot is a beautiful marble tomb in Greenwood Cemetery since 1933. It's currently holding 5 family members (4 buried 1 cremated) but just looking at it it looks like it couldn't possibly hold more then one person.
This has been a great series, Ron. Might I suggest Arlington National Cemetery as a road trip one day? I think every American should see it. It’s truly amazing.
been there, but that was years ago. I have a picture at John Basilone's grave...yes, I saw many. of course JFK, a hero of mine.
some day I will go back - WITH VIDEO CAMERA FOR THIS CHANNEL!
TY.
Yes i agree its like a housing estate for the dead. Beautiful place New Orleans a world away from the way we take care of our dead in England xx
Yay.. another great video..🤗♥️🙏
Enjoyed and the story so heart breaking
The corner statues are the stations of the cross
Thank you I really enjoyed that, the cemetery is beautiful. Love from the UK
In the Catholic Encyclopedia it says he was born August 15/16 1348 (traditionally c.1295) in Montpellier and died August 16, 1377/79 (traditionally c. 1327) His father was the governor of the city. He was deprived of his parents at age 20. Upon his return to Montpellier he was turned over to his uncle and as you said he died 5 years later. Place of burial Church of San Rocco , Venice, Italy. He was known in Italy as St. Rocco. Loved this story everything right on and well told by you! Don’t know how you find these stories but glad you do!
thanks...yes, lots of digging. 😊
what an interesting story of the saint! It is what drew me there. I did get it as a suggestion from one our Instagram followers who lives there, she is a very talented photographer. But when I reached it, I found the story...thats why I picked it. there are so many to pick from, I only could do 5 or 6.
Yes I'm early
Great vlog. Keep them coming. St. Roch is a saint we can all embrace.
The reason so many people can be buried in one plot is because of the warm, humid temperatures and the very low water level. It only takes 13 months for a casket and remains to be completely consumed. So every 13 months a new person can be buried in the plot.
I really like your videos... I remember visiting cemeteries in my country because I loved their architecture and stories... I find those places so peaceful. Some of my friends called me freak because of that.
I go to the cemetry some times to get away from the world and the living. I pray and reflect. So peaceful there
What an amazing cemetry? It is incredible how much some people will pay to lay their loved one/ones to rest. Your videos are not only interesting but educational. You tell a story about the deceased. People see a grave and think nothing where as you tell a story. You bring to life that of a person long gone from this world
Another great video. That's a beautiful place. And it's amazing it wasn't destroyed by hurricane. Thanks again
A lot of beautiful tombs/mausoleums there. Everything is kept neat and proper. I'm so glad you done video's like these on your trip, they are so amazing to see. I love the history you tell us about the people and places your visiting. So informative and very interesting. I enjoy watching your video's.💜🙂
As usual Ron great video. You really did an amazing job. Lots of research and time went into every video. Cant wait to see St Louis #1. Love and prayers from NYC
Your right a wonderful story, but some really sad parts. Thank You for sharing with us ❗
I think I could spend at least a couple days in there.
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL CEMETERY, AND THE STORY OF SAINT ROCH , SO INTERESTING I LOVE THESE STORIES , SO INTERESTING , THANK YOU RON , FOR SHARING THIS WITH US YOUR FANS , I LOVE YOUR STORY TELLING , ❤🙏🕊
I like the new Logo. Put those on a shirt v neck for the ladies and reg neck for the guys.. OK?
Thanks, but for now we have a plan for quarter zip sweatshirts, hoodies and T-shirts. We will expand. I left a picture of the embroidered logo as a post here on UA-cam 20 minutes ago. Check it out and hope you like it. It’s just like the logo in the episodes opening and closing.
I have become addicted to your site, and am so excited when I see a new posting. You do an amazing job. Thank you for that, and for your respect and reverence you show the dearly departed
Amazing place. Thank you! 🌹🌹
The small wall vaults can have multiple people same with the larger vaults. 13 months after a buriel the remains are just dust due to the dry environment and is pushed back to drop behind allowing for another body to be placed in the vault
Hi Ron, wow what an amazing man, a very fascinating life and you have wonder if he had the mark of Christ ? he obviously had some form of divine power to aid healing. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx💖
New Orleans has. A bit of a strange feeling to it. I loved it there, been to Marti Gras a few times. You have to be open to that stuff to understand the undercurrent of the paranormal
Did I miss, “and we’re in”?
I think cemeteries in Louisiana are the most unique and different in all over the world. But lately, I learn to admire its beautiful architectural designs.
A very different cemetery a lot of of beautiful stone work beautiful statues it would have been nice to see in the chapel!
Thank you for this amazing vlog---one of many!
Hi Thank you for taking us along on your tour of New Orleans 🌝👍
How koooooool 👍💕💕🙏🏼🙏🏼🌹💕🙏🏼🙏🏽 thanks u 🙏🏼🌹💜
Oh wow ,wat a stunning cemetery, thank u Ron,
Okay let me just say, that I am new to the channel. I just started at the first episode, and moving up day by day. I think I need an intervention, because now I don’t want to watch anything else. Tried to get interested in a new Netflix series today … no go, back here trying to catch up to where Ron is in September, 2021.
Lol welcome to the gang 😀
Beautiful day in the crescent city~
💛💛💛Nice weather there, as in Germany.
Love the stories you tell, great history.
Thanks for another virtual trip home. I’ve never been to this cemetery,but I use to read obituaries of people being buried here. It’s sad that some cemeteries are in such dangerous areas that people don’t visit unless they have family there and even then, sometimes they don’t.
yes, it was a little sketchy there.
I was worried those dogs were going to get you!! Beautiful Stations of the Cross. This cemetery is breathtaking. I too would like to know how so many people are buried in small plots. Another great one!
yeah, funny, when I videoed the Sargent York episode in Tennessee (its coming out in like 2 weeks) I almost got bit by a mangy loose dog from the people who live ON THE CEMETERY GROUNDS. I almost maced it. you can hear it coming as I finish the opening remarks!!!
@@FacesoftheForgotten so happy you made it out of the cemetery alive!!!!
Thank you for sharing.
Very interesting story indeed!
Thank you for sharing. So interesting..
Look like here,in Romania!!
Love love love your content!!
Wow that's all pretty cool
Nice one Ron love hearing the back story and looking at this great place. The niches are the stations of the cross. Someone might of mentioned that already. Nice job keep it up 👍🏻
Maybe they are all cremated
Those are stations of the cross
Down here we always called that cemetery St. Rock! Some of my family is in there!
cool!
HEY RON , I use to Fly with the Navy on P3 Orions , 4 Engine Turbo-Prop , Submarine Patrol Squadron 60 , Out Of the Old Glenview Naval Air Station.

Where is Marie LaVeau?
She is in St. Louis cemetery number 1, and that’s coming out Monday at 2 PM central time
Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Ron!!! Thanks!!
Wow, how amazing.
Wonder if the up step ones with so many names were buried or actually cremated and urns buried 🤷. The story of Saint Roche was very intriguing....however I wonder if him having the cross on his body was GOD telling them that Mary had nothing to do with it but CHRIST had everything to do with his birth 🤴. Beautiful stroll with so many beautiful arts of work on a beautiful day......thank you for the tag a long 💗🕊️
You could be right Beth!... And thanks I am glad that you enjoy the production.
Just beautiful

Thanks for sharing that beautiful story.💕🙋🏻♀️👍👏🙏🏻😇
This is one I haven't gotten to yet now I feel as if I've visited. Thank you!! Love your videos and story's. I love history and you can learn so much from cemeteries. I've been going to them for years. Recently I've found my 5 times great grandfather's and grandmother's graves. He was born in 1750 and died in 1816. He was a captain in the Revolutionary War. He was given a land grant after the war. He's buried there out in an old cemetery in the woods behind his house.
I know in lots of countries, including Germany, you can only have a plot for 25 - 30 years. After that, you either have to pay or your loved one is removed from the grave and the bones put in an ossuary with all the others who have been moved over the years.
oh no....I would not like tar for my family. And I was born in Wiesbaden 😢
I belonged to St. ROCHUS church when I lived in another city. This is fascinating.
Those “little sanctuaries” are life-sized Stations of the Cross. You showed Station 5 of 14, “Simon of Cyrene helps Jesus Carry his cross,” number 2 “Jesus accepts the cross,” probably due to the proximity, number 3 “Jesus falls the first time,” and number 1 “Jesus is condemned to death.”
Thank you so much for this very beautiful video. Those statues of Christ with his cross are stunning. Hope you are keeping well safe. Jane in New Zealand
10:17 Well if anyone doubted he was a saint, this should have helped convince them. I have never had a dog bring me food. My experience is, they want whatever you are having and will eat it up before you try to take it. 🙂
11:08 Mean old uncle!
12:56 The birthmark! So glad she was still alive to see and recognize him before he was buried. How nice that cures were attributed to him after his death.
Such a beautiful cemetery. Everything is so ornate and very beautiful. Thank you for sharing your adventures. It is so nice to see such pretty mausoleums and statues.
Amazing story. I hope people are saying a few prayers to St Roch because of the pandemic.
Thank you, I really liked the video, I wish your channel many subscribers and views, thank you very much
Fascinating information! I've been inside the Prosthetic Chapel. It's amazing to see how the memorabilia representing miracles of healing, the prosthetic arms and hands representing healed wounds or limbs that grew back.. I believe it all started when the little girl who is represented by the statue of the girl laying down in front of the chapel was able to walk again after praying for a miracle.
Once again very well done. Enjoyed reading Anita from Hungary's comments regarding burials in her country
I would never have imagined places like this! How beautiful!
Wow, you really out did yourself, what a magnificent Cemetery, great job!,can you imagine if those crypts could talk?....Thank you for taking us with you!
U do good videos very pretty cemeterys take care😸🤗🙏
Ur a very sweet kind man & u respect & not to step on there tombs I do that to don't like to step either when I go see my family 🙏🤗
I love the stories of the saints. My favorite movies when I was a kid were Our Lady of Fatima, Song of Bernadette and the singing Nun. So much inspiration in those old movies. I was a weird kid, always so interested in religious faiths and stories about Jesus and God. I didn't ever have a "gang" of friends, maybe one or two but the only friend I could always count on was Jesus. I mean, who wants to hang around with a kid that never wants to do anything wrong 😅Great story Ron. Thanks!
The little chapels are amazing wow thank you so much great video the story of the Saint was amazing ...... I am working this weekend so I will have to get caught up on Monday on your videos
We pronounce it St. "Rock".. it's a very dangerous area btw so please be careful.
I heard the dog barking when you told the story of Saint Roche...Awesome
