Calvary Cemetery’s biggest event of the year, Memorial Day, is approaching quickly.

This year’s special Memorial Day Mass will be held at 8:45 a.m. on Monday, May 29th. Father John Kunz of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church will be the celebrant.

While the Mass is said within Calvary Chapel, many of the visitors sit outside on lawn chairs and hear the service through the P.A. system.

Military honors will immediately follow the Mass.

Helpful directions for event participants:

  • Park on Goodyear Avenue in front the cemetery and walk in to avoid being blocked in the cemetery.
  • Bring lawn chairs in case you cannot get a seat inside the chapel.
  • Dress appropriately for the weather that morning.
  • Ground decorations are now allowed to be placed on sites but must be removed by Monday, June 5th. (To decorate year round, you must have a cemetery-approved pot stand in a concrete pad — certain areas only. Please check with staff.)
  • No glass containers are allowed — please anchor flowers well or the wind will take them.
