Providing Traditional Catholic Burials since 1848 We live our lives in faith so it only makes sense that we conclude our lives in faith as well. St. Joseph Cemetery follows the Catholic Church teachings and traditions to insure that the faithful receive an affordable and proper Catholic burial on consecrated ground.

Preplanning Arrangements Peace of mind is an extraordinary gift. It is also hard to achieve in time of sorrow. Many families now prepare well in advance of the time of need, and so give one another this gift. Preplanning provides emotional and financial security. It reflects your wishes and does not burden your loved ones with tough decisions at a time of grieving and loss.

Our cemetery serves to give families a place to grieve, preserves history, and lifts the spirits with its natural beauty. As a Catholic cemetery, it also serves three distinct purposes: To call the Living to pray for the salvation of soulsthe eternal happiness of the Dead. To sanctify the resting places of the faithful departed, who await the resurrection of their bodies and reunion with us in Christ Jesus. To focus the hearts and minds of the Living on the Glory of God made manifest in the lives of those "who have gone before us marked with the sign of faith."

Why do we pray for the dead? The simplest answer might be. “Love.” Prayer of any kind is a gift of the Holy Spirit, who moves our hearts toward union with God. Why would we ever not want to share that gift with anyone, living or dead? In humility, we ask one another to pray for the healing we can no longer seek for ourselves in death. In charity, we fulfill that request for each other, aware that we, too, will rely one day on others’ prayers. Christmas Wreath Sales Saint Joseph Cemetery will sell Christmas wreaths decorated with a red bow and seasonal ornaments at $30 per wreath. The wreaths will be fixed at the grave of your loved ones interred at the cemetery. To place your order you may call the cemetery at 603 6229522, or order at the Cathedral Rectory Office. Checks can be made payable to Saint Joseph Cemetery. The deadline for ordering is December 15 as there is a limited number of wreaths.

Pick up a cemetery brochure on the Welcome Table or at the Rectory Office.

Into your hands, O Lord, we humbly entrust our brothers and sisters. In this life you embraced them with your tender love; deliver them now from every evil and bid them enter eternal rest. The old order has passed away: welcome them then into paradise, where there will be no sorrow, no weeping nor pain, but the fullness of peace and joy with your Son and the Holy Spirit for ever and ever. Amen. NǐǗǆǎǃǆǓ 3, 2019
