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.
