Collection: Calvary Catholic Cemetery - Galveston
Calvary Catholic Cemetery in Galveston, Texas, was established in 1847 by the Catholic Diocese of Galveston-Houston to provide a sacred and consecrated burial ground for the local Catholic community. Its founding reflected the island’s growing Catholic population and the need for a dedicated space to honor and inter the faithful. Over the years, the cemetery has expanded to accommodate the burial needs of generations of families.
The cemetery serves Catholics and welcomes those of other faiths, offering a range of burial options, including traditional plots, cremation niches, and mausoleum spaces. It also includes historic gravesites and monuments that reflect Galveston's rich cultural and religious heritage. Special memorials honor clergy, veterans, and community leaders who played significant roles in the area’s history.
