History
With Calvary Cemetery running out of room, Resurrection cemetery was established in 1940.[1] Archbishop John Gregory Murray consecrated the cemetery on June 30, 1940.[2] With land in Minnesota rapidly being purchased, and seeing the need to secure land for Catholic burials, Archbishop Austin Dowling had purchased 350 acres of prairie in Mendota for $400,000 some years prior.[3]: 544
Resurrection began offering green burials in 2019, in an area dedicated that May by Archbishop Bernard Hebda.[4][5] A section is dedicated especially to the burial of priests and bishops.[6]
