The Catholic Cemeteries of the Archdiocese of Washington serve as sacred grounds where earthly life and eternal life converge for families in Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. These serene resting places symbolize the meeting point between hope and destiny in Jesus Christ.
As these cemeteries are meticulously consecrated to God through sacred rituals, the land itself becomes part of the local and universal Church. Within these hallowed grounds, solace and comfort await those mourning the loss of loved ones, offering peaceful repose for those who rest in the hopeful anticipation of eternal life.
We invite you to come and visit our cemeteries for personal prayer, as these tranquil spaces provide a haven for reflection and contemplation. As Christians, we hold steadfast in our belief in the resurrection of the dead, finding solace and purpose in this eternal promise (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 991).
For more information about our cemeteries, our mission, or career opportunities, please feel free to reach out to us. We are here to assist you during these difficult times and provide you with a sense of peace and guidance.
