My Dear People of God:

The Laws of the Church tells us that “the Church is to have its own cemetery whenever this can be done . . .” (Canon 1240). How wonderfully blessed we are in the Spokane area to have both beautiful Holy Cross Cemetery and historic St. Joseph Cemetery at Trentwood.

The place for those who have died is a sacred place, and the cemetery reminds us of the new relationship we have with those who have died. I encourage you to support both Holy Cross and St. Joseph Cemeteries.

Family Service Representatives are on hand to meet with you, either in your home or at our office, to explain the many variable options available.  Your kindness to them is appreciated.

May God bless you and give you peace.

Your brother in Christ,

 Bishop of Spokane
