Columbarium Exploratory Committee

We have begun the process of exploring the idea of a columbarium located on the Saint Rose of Lima campus. The Diocese of Nashville has put forth very specific criteria and processes related to the planning and implementation of a columbarium.

A committee has been appointed by Fr. Chris and meets once per week. New projects include: planning for the Parish Columbarium Survey, Parish education about our Columbarium project, and preliminary investigation of various Columbarium design firms.

The Parish Columbarium Survey Ballot has been finalized and was approved by the Parish Council! Voting is planned for this fall. On this Ballot every family will simply be asked to vote YES or NO regarding the installation of a Columbarium at Saint Rose. This is not a vote asking if you are in favor of cremation or plan to purchase a niche; it is just a vote asking if you are in favor of a columbarium on our Saint Rose of Lima campus.
