Saint Denis cemetery is reputed to have originated as a Protestant Cemetery, however, it is recorded in 1890 the land was donated to the Catholic society via H.C. Newell, 3 acres of the old Fairbanks Farm, now known as Kelton Road. Many gravesites date back to the late 1800s to early 1900s. The Cemetery accommodates traditional casket interment and cremated remains.

Most veterans buried here are from The Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R.) a fraternal organization composed of veterans of the Union Army (United States Army), Union Navy (U.S. Navy), Marines and the U.S. Revenue Cutter Service who served in the American Civil War. Founded in 1866, the G.A.R. promoted voting rights for Negro veterans, as many white veterans recognized their demonstrated patriotism and sacrifices, providing one of the first racially integrated social/fraternal organizations in America. The G.A.R. became among the first organized advocacy groups in American politics, supporting voting rights for black and white veterans alike, promoting patriotic education, helping to make Memorial Day a national holiday and lobbying the United States Congress to establish regular veterans' pensions.

We plan in the future to hold a Memorial Day Mass at the cemetery each year and we are building a prayer garden to beautify the cemetery for families and visitors to enjoy.
