Lord God, whose days are without end and whose mercies beyond counting, keep us mindful that life is short and the hour of death unknown. Let your Spirit guide our days on earth in the ways of holiness and justice, that we may serve you in union with the whole Church, sure in faith, strong in hope, perfected in love. And when our earthly journey is ended, lead us rejoicing into your kingdom, where you live for ever and ever.

ST. THEODORE'S CATHOLIC CEMETERY RECORDS
as of 12/31/2014.
The Holy Scriptures teach that death is part of the
natural process to an ultimate union with God.
Because of our Catholic faith, we believe that burial in a Catholic cemetery demonstrates love and respect for the deceased, and leads us to an eternal union with God’s love. St. Theodore's Catholic Cemetery is an extension of St. Theodore's Church that ministers to our grief as the Church ministers to our faith. Being buried in the sacred grounds here is an assertion of faith for both the deceased and their loved ones.
St. Theodore's Catholic Cemetery, established in 1961, is located in Laporte, Hubbard County, and is maintained by St. Theodore's Church.
The cemetery is located about 1/4 mile from intersection of County 39 and US Highway 200 in Laporte. |
If this is the sacred place of resting for you or your loved one, please
contact St. Theodore's Parish office at (218) 652-4005.
