Consecrated in 1904, Resurrection Cemetery was established to serve the Polish Catholic community. In 1969, the Millennium Shrine commemorating a thousand years of Polish Christianity was blessed by Karol Cardinal Wojtyla, who later became Pope John Paul II. Resurrection Community Mausoleum opened in 1969 and immediately became a major architectural landmark. Its glass window walls depicting the History of Salvation is the largest faceted glass installation in the world. Resurrection Garden Mausoleum, opened in 1985, offers crypts and niches for families that prefer aboveground burial for full body and cremated remains, while lawn-level marker and monument graves are available in various sections for families that prefer traditional ground burial.
