Reserve Your Niche for All Time
The St. Agnes Columbarium and Memorial Garden is located behind the church building. It serves as the final resting place for the cremated remains of parishioners and their families. In addition to the niches for cremains there is also a Memorial Wall where the names of parishioners and family members interred elsewhere may be memorialized.
For further information view/download the Columbarium Frequently Asked Questions.
You are welcome to visit the Memorial Garden during daylight hours for prayer and meditation.
If you are interested in reserving a niche or wish to have names engraved on the Memorial Wall you may call the Parish Office and/or complete the appropriate forms, available in the Info Center on our website.
Columbarium Services Committee
The Columbarium Services Committee is a business-type entity that manages the construction, operation, and maintenance of the St. Agnes Columbarium Garden. This committee of several volunteers takes on the responsibility of assisting at Parish Inurnments by preparing each niche, prior to the farewell ceremony, to receive the urn of the deceased, and re-closing the niche at the end of the ceremony. Additionally, members transport Columbarium Niche Covers to Frederick, MD for engraving and back again to the Columbarium for installing on their designated niches.
