OUR MISSION STATEMENT:

As a ministry of St. Anthony's Catholic Church, our mission is to provide a sacred burial place for all of our beloved, faithful, departed and serve as a bridge between past, present, and future. It is intended that our cemetery be perpetually areas of quiet beauty and serenity - to beckon the living as well as to provide repose for the dead. We will continue to care for the former Temples of the Holy Spirit with dignity, respect, and reverence. We will strive to comfort the living with compassion and concern, and we offer sacred space for remembering the sacredness of the human body, the belief in Resurrection, and the Christian virtue of Hope in the promise of Eternal Life.
