St. John Cemetery
The Catholic Church recognizes seven corporal works of mercy, the seventh of which is to bury the dead. Following our Catholic faith, St. John considers our cemetery a holy place. As such, we have a responsibility to see that the grounds remain sacred and well maintained. It is our duty to show mercy long after the funeral is over. Please help us meet this responsibility by respecting our cemetery rules and regulations.
