Calvary Cemetery, located in Rochester, Minnesota, was established in December 1874 as Saint John's Cemetery, founded by Rt. Rev. Thomas L. Grace, Bishop of St. Paul. The name was officially changed to Calvary Cemetery Association on November 1, 1940, and it has since become the final resting place for over 10,000 individuals, including numerous clergy from the Diocese of Winona.
The cemetery not only serves as a sacred space for interment but also reflects the rich history and dedication to the community, with a significant number of its burials being priests and sisters from St. Francis of Assisi. The site stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of faith and remembrance in Rochester.
