Rendering of the Columbarium and Prayer Garden
Thank you for your interest in our columbarium
Have you thought about your final resting place? If you are choosing cremation, you have the opportunity to reserve a spot among the many individuals who have secured a niche in the St. Henry Columbarium and Prayer Garden. Each niche can accommodate the cremains of up to 2 individuals and is currently priced at $5,000. The Columbarium and Prayer Garden will be situated in the courtyard outside the Narthex, replacing the current Walk of Faith.
Construction is slated to begin Summer 2025 with completion proposed late Fall 2025. Updates will be communicated through the bulletin and weekly e-news.
To begin the process of securing your niche please read the Columbarium Policies and Regulations booklet and fill out the interest form below.
