St. Francis de Sales Cemetery

Historic St. Francis de Sales Cemetery

Set apart from the city, amidst fertile farmland and solemnly blessed, the earthy remains of our faithful departed await the day of Resurrection in the sacred ground of St. Francis de Sales Cemetery. With the passage of time, the worn tombstones of Adelaid Peters and Patrick Boyle signify the earliest parishioners of Irish and German descent, laid to rest in 1846.

This parcel of land, this holy ground, inspires our own faith in giving Public witness to the lives of our beloved deceased, our belief in the Resurrection of the body, eternal life, our belief in the Church Triumphant in Heaven, as well as the dignity of the body.

Rooted in ancient religious traditions, displaying a respect and Reverence for the physical world, our Catholic cemetery is an extension of St. Francis de Sales Church, where those who have worshipped and prayed together in life, await the resurrection.

Our highest priority is to ensure that St. Francis de Sales Cemetery remains a beautiful and dignified final  resting place befitting the beloved dead.  Since 2016, many cemetery improvements have transpired, including new signage, upgrading roadways, planting trees and trimming years of overgrowth.  Annually, historic tombstones are scheduled for repair.
