A Catholic Cemetery is a sacred place. It is a place where many visitors come to
remember, pray for, and memorialize their loved ones. Throughout these times,
a significant number of personnel work diligently to maintain and improve the
cemetery grounds and provide respectful service to all. As members of the Body
of Christ we are all working together for the glory of our Lord and the salvation
of all of His people. As we participate together in these corporal and spiritual
