Holy Cross Cemetery
HOLY CROSS CEMETERY
4955 Evergreen Way
Washougal, WA 98671
The Catholic cemetery is the final resting place for the members of our Faith Community on our Journey to God. It is the gate of heaven. Burial in the consecrated ground of the Catholic cemetery allows you to share your faith values with future generations of your family. This legacy of faith is your gift to them.
November is the month the Church especially dedicates to praying for the dead. To encourage this holy practice, the Church offers a daily plenary indulgence for the souls in purgatory, under the usual conditions (right intention, confession, Communion, prayer for the intentions of the Pope) to those who visit a cemetery in the period of Nov. 1-8. She offers a partial indulgence at other times.
On May 9, 1900, Anton and Barbara Gresz donated approximately 1.7 acres to the Diocese of Nesqually for the creation of a new church and cemetery. Holy Cross Cemetery in Washougal in Clark County was established on this site. Holy Cross Cemetery was also known as the Washougal Catholic Cemetery.
