Memorial Garden and Columbarium

Our Lady of Lourdes Memorial Garden and Columbarium is located on the church grounds adjoining Our Lady’s Grotto. This location provides an exceptionally beautiful, private site for grieving, prayer, and meditation. To console those in their time of sorrow, the Holy Eucharist is always nearby in the adjacent Perpetual Adoration Chapel. The chapel may be used for prayer and reflection and is a haven during inclement weather.

What specifically is a columbarium?

A columbarium is an arrangement of openings into which an urn, containing the cremated remains of a deceased person, is placed for permanent internment. These openings are approximately 9 inches square by 12 inches deep and are called “niches”. At Our Lady of Lourdes, the columbarium is a freestanding structure containing 90 niches.
