Sacred Space. Sacred Lives.

The Mission of Saint Joseph of Arimathea exists to provide a sacred space for the burial and remembrance of children, honoring each child with dignity, reverence, and grace. This ministry is in service to families who have experienced miscarriage, stillbirth, or other instances of infant loss.

Inspired by Saint Joseph of Arimathea, we provide space for the proper and respectful burial of children as we seek to embody both the corporal and spiritual works of mercy through compassionate care, prayer, presence, and support.

Together, as the Body of Christ, we care for the sacred remains of these children, uphold the dignity of every human life, and bear witness to the Christian hope of resurrection and eternal life.

Inspired by the Witness of Saint Joseph of Arimathea

Joseph of Arimathea held a respected position on the Jewish council, yet he followed Jesus quietly, hesitant to risk what open faith might cost him. After Christ’s crucifixion, when many disciples had scattered in fear, Joseph stepped forward. He went to Pontius Pilate, asked for Jesus’ body, and offered his own newly prepared tomb so Christ could be laid to rest with dignity. His act of courage became a quiet but powerful moment in the Gospel story.

The Mission of Saint Joseph of Arimathea carries forward that same spirit of compassion and sacrifice. Just as Joseph provided a place of rest for Christ, this ministry provides sacred resting places through our expanded columbarium and Children’s Garden, serving our parish family and those in our wider community who have nowhere else to turn.
