A Catholic cemetery is an extension of parish life, where those who have worshipped and prayed together in life now await the resurrection of the body in death. They are a vital part of our Church’s heritage of caring for and burying the bodies of the dead in blessed ground; one of the Corporal Works of Mercy. 

Our mission at Calvary Cemetery Duluth is to provide a fitting resting place for our beloved dead, in a sacred place of prayer, beauty and peace.  A place where those who mourn can find comfort while reflecting on their Faith in God, Hope in the Resurrection and everlasting life for those they Love.
