Catholic Cemetery

The Office of Catholic Cemeteries, a ministry of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, is dedicated to the sacred task of maintaining and developing cemeteries for religious purposes. Their mission encompasses the burial of the dead, prayer for both the living and deceased, and providing comfort to those who mourn, all while witnessing the Catholic faith's beliefs in the communion of saints and the resurrection of the dead.

In addition to cemetery management, the Office offers educational programs that inform the community about Catholic burial practices and approaches to death and dying. These resources aim to promote the comprehensive use of the Order of Christian Funerals and encourage pre-planning for funeral arrangements, ensuring that families are supported during their time of need.
