The St. Benedict Columbarium and Memorial Garden is a sacred resting place on holy ground for cremated human remains with the same dignity of a cemetery. A place for our loved ones to rest until our Lord comes again, a place at home in our beloved community and Church. Our columbarium offers a very peaceful place for you to come and pray and ask God to intercede for your loved one.
The parish columbarium offers these benefits:
Perpetual Care
The Code of Canon Law requires the Catholic Church to perpetually maintain its places of burial. Hence, care will always be assured.
Security
Proximity on well-lighted Church grounds assures optimum security.
Convenience
With your final resting place only a few feet away from the Church, your family and friends attending Mass will be able to visit the columbarium which is a brief walk away.
Serenity
Our columbarium design fits perfectly into existing space, offering a serene, peaceful environment for meditation and quiet reflection.
The outdoor columbarium altar can be used for
· Memorial Service for All Souls Day
· Services for Urn Placement in Niche
· Veterans Day Memorial Services
Cost includes engraved face, perpetual care fund and all other costs associated with the columbarium.
