Recently, two unidentified individuals were identified, and their remains were carefully brought back together and respectfully placed as a whole. This is especially meaningful to us as a Catholic cemetery, where we believe every person deserves dignity and respect.

We are grateful for the opportunity to serve in such a meaningful way.

A special thank-you to Sally Linhart for writing such a beautiful piece about this experience and the work we are blessed to do.

On a quiet July morning at Resurrection Cemetery in Oklahoma City, two unmarked graves holding the partial remains of Pamela Joy Schuerman and Billy Smith were carefully opened to allow for the reunification of their physical bodies.

Construction at Calvary Cemetery continues to move forward right on schedule, and with each passing week the vision becomes a little more tangible. Seeing the progress firsthand is both exciting and humbling as this sacred place begins to take shape.

Calvary Cemetery will stand as a lasting legacy for generations to come as a place of prayer, remembrance, and hope where families can honor their loved ones with dignity. More than just a cemetery, it represents our continued commitment to the Corporal Work of Mercy of burying the dead, serving the faithful with compassion while proclaiming the promise of the Resurrection.

We are incredibly grateful for everyone whose hard work and dedication are making this vision a reality, and we look forward to sharing more updates as construction continues.

Sometimes a small act of kindness can mean so much.

Today, our grounds crew was surprised with thoughtful gifts from Crawford Buchanan Funeral Home. It was a meaningful reminder that the work they do each day is seen and appreciated.

Our outside team spends countless hours caring for these sacred grounds and working behind the scenes to prepare everything for the services held here at the cemetery. From setting up for each family's service to maintaining a beautiful and peaceful place for loved ones to visit, they take great pride in serving our community—even during the Oklahoma summer heat.

We are grateful for the dedication they show every day and thankful for the kindness that was extended to them.

Thank you, Crawford Buchanan Funeral Home, for thinking of our team. Your thoughtfulness was truly appreciated.

It has been 45 years since the martyrdom of Blessed Stanley Rother.

Today, on his feast day, we remember and celebrate this humble Oklahoma priest who journeyed from the family farm in Okarche to the people of Santiago Atitlán. Through his faithful ministry, he shared the Gospel, formed disciples, and ultimately laid down his life for Christ and His Church.

May his witness continue to inspire us to live our own faith with courage, humility, and love.

For his canonization, we pray:

O God, fount of all holiness,
make us each walk worthily in our vocation,
through the intercession of your Saints,
on whom you bestowed a great variety of graces on earth.
Having graced your Church with the life of
your priest and martyr, Blessed Stanley Rother,
grant that by his intercession this humble flock may reach
where the brave shepherd has gone.
Grant that your Church may proclaim him a saint
living in your presence and interceding for us.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

31 years ago today, Oklahoma City and our entire country were changed forever.

On April 19, 1995, 168 lives were taken in the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. Families were shattered, futures were stolen, and a community was left to carry a grief that still lingers today.

At our cemetery, we are entrusted with the care of some of those who were lost. They are not just names in history. They are part of our daily work, our prayers, and our responsibility to remember.

We honor not only those who died, but also the countless individuals who responded with courage and compassion in the face of unimaginable tragedy.

Today, we remember.
We mourn.
And we recommit ourselves to treating one another with dignity, compassion, and respect so that hatred never has the final word.
