Columbarium

The term “columbarium” is derived from the Latin word “columba,” meaning dove, as the original purpose of these structures was to house doves or pigeons. Over time, the term came to represent a place for the storage of cremated remains.

Our columbarium seamlessly blends into the sanctity of the church, becoming an integral part of its sacred tapestry and creating a serene resting place for those who have passed. This setting serves as a place of deep prayer for the souls of the departed and for the intercession of all the Saints who have gone before us.
