​

A columbarium offers a dignified and prayerful resting place for the cremated remains of the faithful departed. Located on the parish grounds, it provides families with a sacred place of remembrance—close to the church where we worship, celebrate the sacraments, and commend our loved ones to the mercy of God.
​

For many families, it is a deep comfort to know that their loved ones will rest at their parish church. The Saint Anthony Columbarium allows the faithful to remain near the spiritual home that nourished them in life and continues to pray for them in death.
