The Franciscan Cemetery at Saint Francis University
Photo contributed by Linda Miko

The Franciscan Cemetery is located on the Campus of Saint Francis University in Loretto, Pennsylvania. It is located directly behind the Southern Alleghenies Art Museum on the campus. The cemetery is the final resting place for members of the Franciscan order. Some are T.O.R., which means Third Order Regular or O.S.F., which means Order of Saint Francis. There are some people buried in this cemetery who were not ordained into the ministry but served or supported the order in some capacity.

The cemetery is two-tiered with steps along each side. The bottom tier is a courtyard with a Memorial dedicated to three Franciscans who were appointed to the position of Bishop or Archbishop. Archbishop John H. Bocella, T.O.R. (1912-1992) served the Archdiocese of Izmir, Turkey. Bishop Urban McGarry, T.O.R. (1910-2000) served the Archdiocese of Bhagalpur, India. Bishop Adrian Veigle, T.O.R. (1912-2001) served as Bishop of Borba, Brazil.

Directions: The Franciscan Cemetery is located directly behind the Southern Alleghenies Art Museum on the Campus of Saint Francis University in Loretto.
