UPDATES

Thank you to all who have purchased niches in our new Columbarium! Here is the latest update on the project: In early July, the architects and structural engineers visited the existing prayer garden, the future site of our new Columbarium. They inspected the site and gathered the necessary information to commence work on the construction drawings. In addition, a survey team is currently developing a site survey.

Upon completion, both the construction drawings and site survey will be submitted to the City of Virginia Beach for review and approval. Concurrent with city review, the Diocese of Richmond review and approval will also occur.

Per the current timeline, once all approvals are received, construction will take approximately 7 weeks, with completion expected in the first quarter of 2027.

For those still interested in purchasing a niche, contact Deacon Bob to schedule a time to complete the purchase form, select your niche, and make full payment.

Presale prices, available now:

- Single niche: $3,150

- Double niche: $4,050

These prices include a 10% discount. After construction is complete, prices will increase to $3,500 (single) and $4,500 (double).

Payment may be made by cash, check, or credit card. Please note: a 3.65% surcharge applies to credit card payments.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

A Sacred Place of Rest & Hope

Holy Spirit Catholic Church is expanding our existing Columbarium to provide a beautiful, sacred resting place for the cremated remains of our beloved parishioners — right here within our church grounds, close to the community they called home.

A Columbarium is a structure of small niches used to hold urns containing the ashes of the deceased. Choosing a niche at Holy Spirit means your loved one will rest in consecrated ground, near the altar where Mass is celebrated daily, surrounded by the prayers of our community for generations to come.
