St. Adalbert Cemetery

Consecrated in 1872, St. Adalbert Cemetery was opened to serve the growing Polish Catholic community and is the largest single cemetery within the Archdiocese, with burials totaling over three hundred thousand. It is also the burial place for many religious communities, including the Resurrectionist Fathers private mausoleum. The Veteran shrine within Section 8 includes full scale statues of members of the military. Shrine sections began to be developed within the cemetery after World War II, the most recent being dedicated to Saint Maximilian Kolbe in 1985 by Bishop Abramowicz. A combination Mausoleum/Interment Chapel was constructed within St. Adalbert and was the first such combination in the Catholic Cemeteries.
