About Us

Mt. Calvary & Gethsemani Catholic Cemeteries are a Statement of Faith. As we have gathered in our churches to celebrate the Death of the Lord until He comes again, so our departed dear ones are gathered in our cemeteries to await the Lord. The chapels, statues, and monuments in our Catholic Cemeteries give evidence to our faith.

The Archdiocese maintains three Archdiocesan cemeteries that are intended to provide sacred burial grounds for members of parishes who do not have access to a parish cemetery. Your three Archdiocesan Cemeteries are Church owned and operated and are lovingly and carefully maintained by long-term staff committed to serving the faithful with a consecrated place of burial.

Parish cemeteries, located on Catholic Church grounds within the Archdiocese of Portland, have long been a tradition in the Catholic Church. While your Catholic Cemetery staff do not manage parish cemeteries directly, part of our mission is to provide support and assistance to local parish cemeteries.
