Dedication Invitation

Letter from Bishop Daniel F. Walsh

 

"My Dear People, The Diocese of Santa Rosa, Department of Catholic Cemeteries, provides places where our catholic people can rest among fellow believers as we await the resurrection of the body in life everlasting.
 

Our Catholic Cemeteries are places of devotion and prayer, places of peace and tranquility where we come to honor  and mourn our loved ones who have gone before us us marked with the sign of faith.

 


This is an important year in the history of our Santa Rosa Calvary Cemetery because after years of planning and construction, its new mausoleum, dedicated in honor of Saint Theresa of Avila, will be blessed immediately following the memorial mass at 10:00 a.m."

Madelyne's Chapel

Calvary Cemetery in Santa Rosa

 

Nestled on the rolling hills of Bennett Valley and enjoying a commanding view of the city of Santa Rosa stands Calvary's Catholic Cemetery Committal Chapel, dedicated on Memorial Day 1965.


The original split tower, symbolizing the joyous release of its earthbound corruptible flesh into the presence of the Risen Lord, (represented by the 19-foot gold leaf cross on the 65-foot high tower) still remains the "home" within which the Chapel stands, but the Chapel itself has undergone a "make-over"
(2004).
