Our Cemetery
-
Our Parish Cemetery carries out the sacred religious function of the burial and cares 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 witnesses 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 a 132-space columbarium for those who wish to be cremated. For information about the columbarium or purchasing an internment right for plots, please get in touch with Tim Winchell at 503-648-1998, ext. 248, or businessmanager@stmatthewhillsboro.org.The Wolfgang Meier family donated the St. Matthew cemetery property to St. Matthew Parish in 1908. It is at 3355 SW Rood Bridge Drive, Hillsboro, OR 97123.
Capital expenditures and operating expenses are covered by the sale of interment rights for plots, donations, and interest from the St. Matthew Cemetery Care Trust Fund. Tax-deductible donations are accepted at St. Matthew Catholic Church, 475 SE Third Avenue, Hillsboro, OR 97123.
