Chapel & Columbarium FeaturesThe four main parts of the columbarium are beautifully configured glass front and marble niches which house urns containing the cremated remains of loved ones. Each chapel of niches is dedicated to the Blessed Mother and honors our Risen Lord and His Saints.

The Chapel of St. Joseph is surrounded by beautiful etched glass representations of Saints whom the Catholic Church has honored for their holiness. In front of the Statue of St. Joseph, patron Saint of a peaceful death, is a fountain of peacefully flowing water, symbolizes the Sacrament of Baptism through which believers receive the gift of eternal life.

The Columbarium area contains two prayer chapels for honoring and remembering those who have died, and whose remains are buried elsewhere. Lighted glass plaques, Cenotaphs, list the names of individuals and families who have been or will be buried in other cemeteries, so that a remembrance of the whole family can be located in one place.

Our niches are reasonably priced according to the type of frontal piece which will be used (glass or marble), the size of the niche to be purchased (single, companion or family) and its location in the columbarium chapel itself.

The Chapel of St. JosephThe Chapel of St. Joseph is a consecrated place of prayer where holy Masses are celebrated, prayers are offered, and meditation and reflection is encouraged.

"With the growing number of people who choose cremation as a final disposition after death, the ability to house these remains inside a Basilica is a beautiful idea". – Monsignor Ronald T. Marino, Pastor

Due to the high cost of cemetery burials and funerals in general, Monsignor Marino wanted to create a dignified affordable Catholic alternative. As part of this Papal Basilica, the Chapel of St. Joseph remains open for visits and prayers every day. It provides a local and easily accessible chapel for family members and others who wish to pray for the deceased.

"Those who believe in Me will not perish but have Eternal Life.”

The Basilica of Regina Pacis is a Papal Basilica dedicated in 1951 and forever protected from merging with another church. The designation of a Basilica indicates a special bond of communion with the Pope and stands out as a center of active and pastoral liturgy.
