Our Cemetery
-
Our Parish Cemetery carries out the sacred religious function of the burial and care for the resting places of our deceased Catholic families. As Christians, we must perform this corporal work in mercy in a compassionate and caring fashion and comfort those left behind.
Our cemetery is an extension of the parish community in that it provides a place of liturgical celebration and gives witness that the Community of Faith is unbroken by death. Through our words, work, and example, We proclaim the sacredness of the human body, the belief in Resurrection, and the Christian virtue of Hope in the promise of Eternal Life.
We now have in place our new 132-space columbarium for those who wish to be cremated. For information about the columbarium or purchasing an internment right for plots, please contact Becky Smith at 503-648-1998, ext. 248 or [email protected].St. Matthew cemetery property was donated to St. Matthew Parish in 1908 by the Wolfgang Meier family and is located at 3355 SW Rood Bridge Drive, Hillsboro, OR 97123.
