Collection: LA CROSSE CATHOLIC CEMTERIES - Parent
The Catholic Cemetery, like a church, is a religious place and should be considered a sacred place where in the mortal remains of the faithful departed dwell while awaiting the glorious resurrection of the body. The Catholic Cemetery should be identifiable as a sacred place, and care should be given to the cemetery both in the external signs that are used and in the care of the grounds. The Superintendent of the cemetery shall see to it that the memorials, inscriptions and ornamentation of the memorials are in keeping with the teachings of the Catholic faith, and all church and civil laws concerning the administration of the cemeteries are observed. The superintendent of the cemetery has been and will be appointed by the La Crosse Catholic Cemetery Association Inc. with the approval of the Diocesan Bishop.
