The Columbarium at Saint Theresa Parish was constructed in May of 2024 and is located by the main entrance of the Church next to the plaza.  It contains 72 niches, which are each able to hold 2 standard-sized urns.  The Columbarium is a place of prayer where the cremains of the faithful are laid to rest in the hope of eternal life.   

The Catholic Church encourages the proper treatment and placement of cremated remains.

… “The cremated remains of a body should be treated with the same respect given to the human body from which they come. This includes the use of a worthy vessel to contain the ashes, the manner in which they are carried, and the care and attention to appropriate placement and transport, and the final disposition. The cremated remains should be buried in a grave or entombed in a mausoleum or columbarium. The practice of scattering cremated remains on the sea, from the air, or on the ground, or keeping cremated remains on the home of a relative or friend of the deceased are not the reverent disposition that the Church requires.”

(Paragraph # 417 in Order of Christian Funerals)
