We have 25 acres of sacred ground to take care of here at Mt. Calvary Cemetery. Being a small non-profit organization, we do not have a large grounds staff to maintain everything that needs to be done, and there is always something to do during the summer months.
Volunteering at Mt Calvary Cemetery is a wonderful way to help carry out one of the important Corporal Works of Mercy—burying the dead.
Areas you could help with include:
Edging around flat monuments
Cleaning and leveling monuments
Wash windows
Fall and spring cleanup days
Mulching trees and flower beds
Pulling weeds
Plant annuals
Power spray buildings
Paint Benches & Crosses
Cleaning Statues
The Corporal Works of Mercy for burying the dead extends to caring for the graves of our beloved deceased.
Some of the flat headstones at Mt. Calvary Cemetery have become overgrown with grass and weeds. Come help us give back to those who went before us by clearing the area around their headstones. Consider adopting a garden or another area at Mt. Calvary Cemetery. The gardens include, Garden of Our Lady, Garden of St. Jude, Garden of St. Francis, Garden of Guardian Angels, and Garden of Resurrection.
We will give them the dignity in death as members of God’s family by showing care for our common home. This is a great activity for families with teenagers, retirees, organizations, church groups, or those needing to fulfill service hours.
Tools needed would be flat edge shovels, buckets, brushes & brooms.
