Why A Catholic Cemetery
Because of our belief in the resurrection of the body, in some shape or
form, at the end of time.
The Catholic Cemetery is a sacred place, consecrated ground. It holds
the physical body once the temple of the Holy Spirit, until the Lord
comes again in glory. Just as the human body deserves to be treated with
dignity and respect in life, so should it be treated in death. Calvary
Cemetery offers burial in a place where dignity and respect and the
sacredness of life are witnessed to. It is a place where the faithful
continue their witness to the entire world of the Good News of Jesus
Christ and the hope we share in resurrection. Calvary Cemetery offers a
place for ritual prayer, such as the Rite of Committal for the dead and
the celebration of the Eucharist. It is also a place for private prayer
and reflection.
