Locating a family grave site

The Cathedral of St. Joseph has four cemeteries, all managed and maintained by the Diocese of Burlington.   Please contact Superintendent Peter Walsh at (802) 862-1530 or [email protected] to arrange burials, monuments or other questions.
The cemeteries were opened in 1837. Unfortunately, we don't have all the data from that date because a fire in 1937 destroyed some records, but we are updating it from other sources.  Records currently date from the early 1870s in the Old Mount Calvary cemeteries and the St. Joseph Cemetery.
Our existing records have been entered into the Find-A-Grave website. That site is the most accurate source.  Please visit that Find-A-Grave to research your history and help us update your family records. The Find-A-Grave website, https://www.findagrave.com would be the most up to date place to find a relatives burial information.
As of October of 2023 all the known monuments in our cemeteries have been photographed.  We add new burial information weekly but we do not have a site or monument to photograph.  If we can locate the burial site we photograph it.  So, unfortunately  there are hundreds of old burials we have not located but are recorded as buried within the cemeteries.

The Cathedral of The Immaculate Conception was the original Cathedral and the "English" parish.  The St. Joseph Cemetery was constructed for that parish in the late 1830s.  Most burials are families who emigrated from Ireland, Scotland, and England.  There are also a large Catholic-Syrian population buried there.  
The St. Joseph's Church was established as the first National French parish in the U.S.  The parish's Old Mount Calvary Cemetery, which includes the Mount Calvary Annex Cemetery, was originally established for St. Joseph's French parishioners who emigrated from France, some immigrants moving to the U.S. from French-speaking Canada. 
The New Mount Calvary Cemetery was begun in the late 1930s for Catholic parishes of greater Chittenden County.
