Questions

Answers

How can I find information about someone buried at St. Leo's Cemetery?: Information about those buried at St. Leo's Cemetery is available by contacting the Cemetery office at 978-537-7257 during the week between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.

Our records go back well into the 1800's and are organized by plot owners and the names of those buried. Knowing the date of death, the name of the deceased, and the name of the owner of the plot will help us find the information you are looking for.

Does the person who purchases a Cemetery plot own the land?: No. They own the right to be buried there. The Church owns the land.

What requirements must Godparents meet?: The requirements for Godparents for the sacrament of Baptism are: One of the Godparents must be a practicing Catholic, that means, they must be confirmed, practicing their religion (attending Mass and receiving Communion regularly).

The other Godparent has to be a Christian. The practicing Catholic Godparent must provide a "Sponsor Card" from their parish. A Sponsor Card will state that they are registerd at a Catholic Church and a practicing Catholic. The Sponsor Card must be signed by their pastor.

How do I become a member of St. Leo's Parish?: Are you new in Leominster or unaffiliated with a Catholic parish here? We always welcome new parishioners and feel it very important to show a warmth and openness to new individuals or families.

Please take the time to register at St. Leo's rectory. We should have the pertinent personal information about you and your family. You can even add or update your information online!

We also ask that you introduce yourself to the celebrant after Mass, so we can begin to put a name to a face.
