An Apostolate of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Lexington
“This Catholic Cemetery is a holy place. It is blessed by the Church and dedicated to God as a place for worship, prayer, and reflection upon Divine Truth and the purpose of life. It is the resting place until the day of Resurrection for the bodies of the Faithful Departed, once temples of the Holy Spirit, whose souls are now with God. It is a final and continuing profession of faith in God and of membership in the Church by those who have chosen to be buried with fellow believers of “the Household of the Faith”.”
The cemetery is located on the south side of W. Main Street about 0.4 miles northwest of its intersection with Newtown Pike (US 25). The cemetery is on the opposite side of W. Main Street directly across from Lexington National Cemetery. This Catholic cemetery operated by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Lexington, Kentucky, was established in 1871.
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) feature ID for the cemetery is 488630 (Calvary Cemetery).
