Día de Los Muertos Catechetical Day  2023

Every year, Catholic Cemeteries and Mortuaries partner with the Office of Religious Education to host a special event for third graders from nearby Catholic schools to explore and learn about the Day of the Dead, also known as Dia de Los Muertos. The children spend the entire day discovering the cultural and spiritual significance of the occasion. They begin with a presentation in the historic Calvary Mausoleum Chapel and then participate in creating traditional crafts and building an altar. 

Despite the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, we refused to let it defeat us. Instead, we got creative and developed a video series and a downloadable PDF to ensure that our program continued to thrive. We're happy to share these resources with you, which you can find below.
