“The Catholic cemetery is consecrated to mark that history, that presence, the very person God will always know, but others often forget,” said Bishop Peter A. Libasci, D.D. “When we visit, look, read, and pause to pray, one who is beloved of God tells his or her story once again.”
Cemetery Hours
Spring through Fall Schedule Mount Calvary Cemetery, located on Norris Road in Pittsfield, is open from April 14 through November 14. For requests to place seasonal arrangements outside of these dates, please contact the rectory for assistance at 435-6242.
Winter Schedule The Diocese has mandated the annual closure of the cemetery from November 15th through April 15th for safety reasons. This closure is essential to prevent incidents that have occurred in the past, such as individuals attempting to access cemeteries without proper signage or barriers, driving into closed areas, climbing over snowbanks, chains, or fences, and causing damage by driving through unplowed sections. Such actions have resulted in vehicles becoming stuck, memorials being damaged, and lots being disturbed. To ensure the safety of all visitors and avoid significant financial liability from potential accidents, it is imperative that access during the winter months is managed appropriately. If you require entry during this period, please contact the Rectory so arrangements can be made: (603) 435-6242.
