From its humble beginnings on May 24, 1851, when 215 original members incorporated the Catholic Cemetery Society in Dorchester, the Association is still performing the task it was mandated to do – provide a final resting place for our departed and beloved dead. Started in one small Cemetery in Dorchester, the Association now maintains four non-sectarian cemeteries of which two are in the area that was Dorchester when the town was annexed to the city in 1870: New Calvary Cemetery and St. Mary’s Cemetery.
