Cemetery

A cemetery, in this case, the cemetery at St. Francis Xavier Church, is a place set apart and consecrated by the Diocesan Bishop, and devoted primarily to the burial of Catholics considered to be members of the Parish. The cemetery, administered by a special committee with its own guidelines, operating under the oversight of the Parish Administrator, is committed to maintaining the faith and heritage of the local Catholic community through the funeral and burial services relating to the Cemetery.  This is done by maintaining these sacred grounds and providing compassionate care for those who mourn in an atmosphere of faith and hope before, during and after the burial.
