St. Peter's Catholic Cemetery is an extension of our Parish; a place for prayer, reflection and remembrance. The cemetery is a vital part of Catholic life by expressing our faith, reverence and respect for sacred burial on consecrated grounds. A grave in a Catholic cemetery is a symbol of hope in God and His promise of everlasting life.
When we are baptized, we are brought to a sacred place, a Catholic church, and baptized into the mystery of Christ's death and resurrection - thus giving us the promise of eternal life. When a loved ones die, we take them to another sacred place, a Catholic cemetery, for burial in sacred ground while they await the resurrection of the dead and the promise of eternal life.
Death as seen through the eyes of a Christian is not the end; it is simply a natural passageway to a changed life with God. Burial in a Catholic cemetery is a statement of continued belief in that everlasting life, even in death. Cemeteries hold the earthly remains of our loved ones who have shared their life, faith, and fellowship with us.
St. Peter the Apostle operates our Catholic cemetery according to these beliefs and principles. It is our hope that the links below will provide you with information about our Catholic cemetery to help you in planning for your future needs. Please also take a moment to review the regulations for visitation and grave adornment. As always, our parish office and cemetery committee are available to assist you and answer any questions you may have.
