Catacombs Plan For Priests In Calvary Cemetery Long Island
An architect completed plans for a mortuary chapel in Calvary cemetery on Long Island with an underground cavern for priest burials, resembling Rome’s catacombs. Conceived by Archbishop Farley, the two acre cavern would lie about fifty feet below the surface, with hewn granite walls and the chapel above. If built, it would be the first such imitation in the United States, though a nearby Passionists monastery in West Hoboken already has a deep underground vault. The practice of burying bodies there was halted about two years ago due to legal barriers.
