With the completion of the church moving from Assumption Chapel to The Immaculata, the need to increase the size of our cemetery has also become a reality.

It is our Christian duty to bury the dead and pray for the souls of the departed. Catholic cemeteries are sacred ground where we strive to create a religious environment conducive to prayer, reflection and remembrance. There are basically only two places that the Catholic Church consecrates as Holy Ground and those are a church and a cemetery. Your donation to the cemetery is a way to help make this possible.

Extra soil from the Immaculata building project made it possible to fill the expanded cemetery site. This sponsorship covers an addition 1200 new plots, a new fence with columns and decorative wrought iron, a new main entrance with an arching sign, paved drive paths and a new calvary scene centerpiece facing the new entrance and the church.

The arch over the main driveway entrance from the church to the cemetery was designed by Civium Architecture and fabricated by Holston Creek Welding in St Marys with local metalworking artisans. It was made from mild steel from a local fabrication shop, galvanized and painted to match the wrought iron fence. The columns were made of the same brick and cast stone to keep harmony with the consecrated church.
