I absolutely enjoyed the beauty of the church archietcture and the hallowed aura the cemetary exuded. To my pleasant surprise, I discovered many friends and family interred here. In fact, I was able to fulfill several photo requests on Find A Grave (website). Didn't realize it at the time, but this church is connected with Saint Joseph Catholic Church in Yoakum, Texas. If you're ever in the area, please don't hesitate to stop by this wonderful landmark.

As an interest grew in family genealogy, I discovered my great-great-grandparents and a few cousins are buried within the borders of this hallowed ground. As my curiosity was piqued, I also realized a few friends are also interred here. The grounds are huge and well maintained. There is a covered space for services, if that is how one wishes to conduct the funeral. Then there are several multi-person mausoleums. I really enjoyed the beauty and history of Saint Joseph's Cemetery.

On this visit, I was blessed to meet one of the volunteers as well as the main person spear-heading the clean up and restoration efforts.

I was out-of-town on the day she passed away nineteen years ago and never did go out to pay my respects. She was a mother-figure of sorts and never could work up the strength to go visit. Today was finally the day to do so. Strangely enough, finding her family plot wasn't very difficult. After standing over her plot praying to the Great Creator, I wandered the remainder of the cemetery. What a beautiful parcel of land! Now I can retire this evening knowing I finally fulfilled a long-awaited desire to see my special friend once again.
