Church Owned & Operated. Serving the Portland Eastside, Gethsemani Catholic Cemetery is a Statement of Faith. As we have gathered in our churches to celebrate the Death of the Lord until He comes again, so our departed dear ones are gathered in our cemeteries to await the Lord. The chapels, statues, and monuments in our Catholic Cemeteries give evidence to our faith. Parish cemeteries, located on church grounds, have long been a tradition in the Catholic Church. The Archdiocese also maintains three larger Archdiocesan cemeteries intended to provide sacred burial grounds for members of parishes who do not have access to a parish cemetery. Your three Archdiocesan Cemeteries are Church owned and operated and are lovingly and carefully maintained by long-term staff committed to serving the faithful with a consecrated place of burial.
