Eternal rest grant unto them,

O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.

May the souls of the faithful departed,

through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

Amen

Memorial Day Mass

A Mt. Calvary tradition for over a century.

Every year Mt. Calvary hosts a Memorial Day mass honoring our loved ones at 9:00 am on the grounds next to the office. The mass is celebrated each year by a priest from one of our sponsor Catholic churches—St. Joseph's, St. Elizabeth Ann Seaton, St. Pius X, St. Matthew's, St. Patrick's, and Immaculate Conception. Bring lawn chairs for seating and/or an umbrella for shade. A collection is taken to go towards ongoing cemetery improvements. If it is raining, the alternate location will be St. Matthew’s Church at 2310 First Ave. NE Cedar Rapids.
