April 8
NORTH
ARLINGTON, N.J., March 28,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The brisk, foggy morning
made the earth fertile for the groundbreaking of a new leading-edge
mausoleum at Holy Cross Cemetery and Mausoleum in the borough of
North Arlington, in Bergen County, NJ.
Before Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin,
C.Ss.R., D.D., Archbishop of Newark, blessed the construction site and the
builders that will make the solemn structure possible, he reflected
on the significance of the occasion and what it will mean to
families and future generations who will honor the lives of their
loved ones with this resting space, like so many Catholics before
them.
"Friends, this mausoleum to be built here is where the bodies
sealed in the name of Christ will lie at rest awaiting the dawn of
the Lord's coming and glory," prayed Cardinal Tobin while
surrounded by cemetery staff. "May it always be a reminder of the
life we are to share in Christ. He will transform our earthly
bodies to be like His in glory. Let us pray during our time here
that God will bring this construction to successful completion and
that His protection will keep those who work on it safe from
injury."
As part of the ongoing commitment by Catholic Cemeteries of the
Archdiocese of Newark to offer a
new place of peace and reflection at Holy Cross Cemetery, the
future Open-Air Mausoleum of the Holy Spirit represents a
significant stride in combining functionality with aesthetic
grace.
The meticulously planned mausoleum features an easily navigable
layout, ensuring that visits are comforting and convenient for all
families with heritage in the original mausoleum, which is 95
percent reserved.
The structure itself will feature architectural elegance, fixed
skylights, and magnificent liturgical artwork. It will integrate
with the natural surroundings, accented by majestic trees and
brilliant seasonal flora.
The new Open-Air Mausoleum of the Holy Spirit will feature a
prayerful committal chapel with a colorful liturgical mosaic at the
center and three crosses above. Granite-covered crypts and
cremation niches will provide families with sacred resting spaces
for their loved ones to pray and honor their memory for generations
to come.
