San Joaquin Catholic Cemetery

St. John's Catholic Cemetery

St. Stanislaus Catholic Cemetery

The Church considers the cemetery to be a holy place. In their cemeteries, therefore, Christians bury and show honor to the bodies not only of their brothers and sisters in faith, but also of those to whom they are bound by the ties of a common humanity: in shedding his blood on the cross for all, Christ has redeemed us all.

(The Book of Blessings, n. 1418)


The Church maintains Catholic cemeteries because both in life and in death we belong to the Lord (Romans 14:8). Just as the faithful have shared and celebrated faith in the community of the Church, so in death their bodies rest with other deceased members of this community, awaiting the day when God will raise their mortal bodies to glory. Catholic cemeteries also stand as a sign to the world that even in death, Christians believe in life. The images of saints in Catholic cemeteries and mausoleums are not mere decorations; they are a sign of belief in the communion of saints.
