St. John the Baptist Parish
Cemetery & Mausoleum
My Dear Friends in Christ,
I would like to share a few words with you about our faith and our
Church and what they teach as we prepare for eternal life.
St. Paul tells us that we do not live and we do not die as our own
master. We are responsible to the Lord while we live and when we die.
In life and in death, we are the Lord's. That's why Jesus died and rose
to life again - that He might be Lord of both the living and the dead.
The richness of these words comes to mind often during the year, and
especially on All Souls Day, when we pray for our departed loved ones.
These words remind us that in our tradition of faith, it is the right
of every Catholic and the preference of the church, to be buried in
the sacred and consecrated grounds of a Catholic cemetery thereby
sharing the community of faith that we share in life.
For further information on our cemetery and mausoleum continue to view
the contents of our web site.
Together let us pray that the souls of the faithful departed will rest
in peace.

Sincerely yours in Christ,
Rev. Joseph L. Ziliak

children, parents, brothers and sisters or any other family member) can
be buried in St. John Cemetery in order to maintain family unity, even in

In 1999, a section of St. John Cemetery was dedicated as the Garden of Angels
for miscarriages and stillborn babies where parents could visit the grave of
their child to remember and bring flowers.
