The columbarium at St. Mary Magdalene offers the option of a burial site near the church, a tradition originating in the early church. This makes a powerful statement of our faith: our ultimate goal is to live this life in Christ so that one day, through death, we can share in eternal life with God.
Our columbarium is primarily for deceased members of St. Mary Magdalene parish and their immediate family members. The columbarium is located directly adjacent to our church, thereby enabling people to complete their earthly spiritual journey near where they worshipped.
How do I reserve a niche in the StMM columbarium?
