Edmonton Catholic Cemeteries Catholic Cemeteries of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Edmonton. BRIEF HISTORY

HOLY CROSS CEMETERY AND MAUSOLEUM
14611 Mark Messier Trail NW (formerly St. ST.

Albert Trail) Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Established in 1954 by Archbishop John Hugh MacDonald, this forty-five acre property serves the population throughout the greater Edmonton area. In 1990, an 1100 space Chapel Mausoleum, the first in the Archdiocesan cemetery system, was built at Holy Cross. This Mausoleum has been expanded now 2 times and is on its third expansion. OUR LADY OF PEACE CEMETER

Y AND COLUMBARIUM
4814 Meridian Street, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

This most recent addition to the Edmonton Catholic Cemeteries was established in 1992 by Archbishop Joseph MacNeil. Located in Edmonton's south-eastern corner, at Highway 14 and Whitemud Freeway, this cemetery will, in time, become the largest of the diocesan properties. At present, 18 of a total of 60 acres have been developed. ALBERT CEMETERY
7 St. Vital Avenue, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada

Established in 1860 by Bishop Vital Grandin, the Oblate Fathers supervised the operation of this cemetery until 1975, when it was handed over to the Archdiocese of Edmonton. The first recorded burial in the cemetery was 10 year old Marguerite, daughter of Raminakus, on June 1, 1861, presided over by Father Albert Lacombe. Although many were interred in the cemetery during its first thirty years, including over three hundred victims of the 1870-71 smallpox epidemic, there are few memorials which predate 1890. The oldest sections of St. Albert Cemetery have long been sold and hundreds of burials have been made in this four acre facility. Additional space was acquired in 1987 and approximately three hundred additional burial spaces provide both flush memorial and upright monument opportunities. ANTHONY CEMETERY
106 Street and 53 Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Established in 1902 as a parish cemetery to serve the community of Southside Edmonton. The Duggan family, well-known in Edmonton and prominent in the history of St. Anthony's Parish and in south Edmonton generally, have a family plot here. JOACHIM CEMETERY
105 Avenue at 117 Street, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Established in 1888 on land donated by the Groat family, this cemetery initially served the downtown community of St. Joachim Parish, the Catholic parish originally centered in the old Fort Edmonton. The cemetery contains a variety of historic monuments; walking through its many rows of memorials, one can begin to appreciate the history of the Catholic presence in central Alberta. A large central cross marks the burial crypt of Archbishop Henry Joseph O'Leary (d. 1938).
