Mount Calvary Cemetery
1900 Edith NE
Albuquerque, Bernalillo County, New Mexico
505-243-0218

The cemetery is owned by the Archdiocese of Santa Fe but is not limited to Catholic burials.  It has all type of burials: mausoleum, outdoor crypts, upright markers and one memorial house.  Most of the markers are flat ground type.  There is a very old section called Santa Barbara which has burials from mid-1800's.  The Santa Barbara section was the beginning of Mount Calvary.  In 1935, they enlarged to the north and that is the main part today.  There are 35 different sections.

History:  In 1869, the Jesuit Fathers in Albuquerque announced they would be building a new  chapel and new cemetery.  The old cemetery near the San Felipe de Neri Church would no longer hold burials.  Father Donato Gasparri found a better site three miles from the Old Town site.  The greater number of the bodies from the old grounds were carefully moved in 1869. 

The first recorded interment was August 1870.  The earliest existing monuments are thos of Vicente Otero (1877), Jesusita Baca de Romero (1877) and Diego Armijo (1878). 

In 1936, the Reverend Libertini chaired a committee to modernize and beautify the cemetery.  In 1938, a solemn high mass dedicated the new chapel and cemetery.  The parishes of San Felipe and Immaculate Conception used Santa Barbara Cemetery which later became a part of the newer larger Mount Calvary Cemetery.

The new cemetery consisted of an additional eighteen acres of land north of the older Santa Barbara portion.  I new chapel was built in 1992 as well as a mausoleum.  The original business office is now a columbarium for cremated remains. 

Mount Calvary is a non-sectarian perpetual care cemetery.  A montly mass is celebrated on the first Saturday of each month by various priests in the city.  The cemetery is dedicated to fostering a spirit of peace, joy, love, unity, communication, cooperation and service as well as being responsive to the ever-changing needs of the people it serves.
