Each person, created in the image and likeness of God, sets out on a faith journey. Our church, and in particular the local Parish, is always present along the way to minister to the traveler’s needs and to celebrate significant milestones in their lives.
Catholic cemeteries are an extension of the Parish where those who have worshipped and prayed together in life now await the resurrection of the body in death. Catholic cemeteries are rooted in ancient religious traditions that display a respect for the deceased and a reverence for their physical remains.
A core belief which dates back to the birth of Christianity is that there is a direct relationship between Jesus’ death and resurrection and the death and resurrection of the Christian. Catholics believe in life eternal.
By choosing a Catholic cemetery, one selects a final resting place that reflects the beliefs and values from life’s personal journey. It is a resting place that is sacred and shared with all fellow pilgrims awaiting the resurrection of the dead and the promise of everlasting life.
