  • Columbarium
    Columbarium
    The cremated remains should be buried in a grave or entombed in a mausoleum or columbarium. (Cannon 1176)
      • Inquire/Make an appointment
    • The St. Mark the Evangelist Columbarium is a sacred resting place on holy ground for cremated remains with the same dignity of a cemetery. A place for our loved ones to rest until our Lord comes again, a place close to our beloved community and Church. Our columbarium offers a very prayerful space for you to come and pray and ask God to intercede for your loved one.
    • The opportunity is here for St. Mark the Evangelist parishioners to purchase one of a limited number of niches in the St.
       Mark the Evangelist Columbarium. Each niche can contain two urns. The urns are supplied by the parish and are included in the purchase price.
       Our beautiful sacred resting place is located on the west side of the sanctuary.
       You are welcome to visit it between 7:00AM and 10:00PM

    • CREMATION

      The Catholic Church's practice of burial goes back to early Christian days. A strong belief in the body as the temple of the Holy Spirit, as well as the belief in the resurrection of the body, support the Church's continued respect for the human body after death. From early Christian days cremation was viewed as a pagan practice and a denial of the doctrine of the Resurrection. That s why cremation was expressly forbidden by the Catholic Church until recent years.
       On March 21, 1997, the Vatican granted permission for the cremated remains of a body to be brought into Church for the Liturgical Rites of Burial.
       Their final disposition is equally important, say the instructions: "The cremated remains should be buried in a grave or entombed in a mausoleum or columbarium. The practice of scattering cremated remains in the sea, from the air, or on the ground, or keeping cremated remains in the home of a relative or friend of the deceased are not the reverent disposition that the Church requires." The instructions also state that, if at all possible, the place of entombment should be marked with a plaque or stone memorializing the deceased.
