Our Cemetery grounds are in full bloom ! The picture included shows the progress we have made on the Columbarium Garden. The hedges, lawns and trees are in full spring color. Also, we now have samples of 2 and 4-niche family columbariums that can be purchased and placed in the Columbarium Garden. Stone benches surrounding the Columbarium are also available for anyone wishing to memorialize a family or individual. Our Memorial Day Mass at the cemetery is scheduled for 9 am Monday May 27th ( at Church in case of rain ). There will be a special promotional 10% discount on the purchase of a Columbarium niche or plot in the garden from May 24 through June 5 . Please come out and visit Calvary Cemetery to see these beautiful improvements, or just to share a prayer with a deceased friend or family member. Contact Mike Moravec, our Cemetery Manager, at 607-272-5780, for further information. Our Cemetery Committee welcomes your feedback, ideas or questions. The Cemetery section of the Parish website will soon have several more pictures and further information on the upcoming promotional Columbarium pricing.
Fr. Augustine Chumo, Pastor, and Deacon George Kozak of Immaculate Conception Church led a group of parishioners and friends in prayers as they blessed and formally dedicated the new columbarium at Calvary Cemetery, 638 Five Mile Drive, Ithaca, NY on All Souls Day.
ABOUT CALVARY CEMETERY
In January 1894, a farm on Five Mile Drive was purchased by the church and the land was used to open Calvary Cemetery. For over 125 years, Calvary Cemetery has been the preferred resting place for Catholic and other Christian families from across Tompkins County. The Cemetery is owned and cared for by Immaculate Conception Church.
To honor the memory of those who have chosen our hallowed grounds as their final resting place.
This donation for the cemetery goes towards our facilities maintenance so our cemeteries will be maintained with the highest standards of care so the memories of those interred may be visited in comfort and dignified respect.
