St. Thomas Historic Cemetery

The St. Thomas cemetery is one of the oldest cemeteries in the county with memorials dating back to the early eighteenth century. The cemetery covers roughly 12 acres and is an integral component of the campus, intertwining with a number of the buildings on the site.

The cemetery provides the final resting place for over 3,000 people from various stations in life and with ties to the St. Thomas community. Senators, Governors, soldiers from every war since the Revolution, medal of honor winners, entrepreneurs, composers, and a multitude of faithful people are interred on this sacred hill.

The cemetery continues to be utilized for interments. A beautiful Memorial Garden sits adjacent to the south façade of the church building and a Peace Garden is also located on the south side of the church building to provide respite for visitors to enjoy. 

Information on the purchase of lots, niches, or a space in the Memorial Garden can be obtained by contacting the church office.
