This past year the San Lorenzo Seminary Corporation undertook a complete remodel of the cemetery. It is now completed and it looks really Beautiful! Please click here to go to the 2024 Cemetery Pictures page to see the construction and completed job. To complement what the Corporation accomplished, and as our Gala Bellringer, the San Lorenzo Foundation has decided to continue with the brick walkway of the cemetery to encompass the 14 Stations of the Way of the Cross. You can see from the pictures that the old Way of the Cross Walkway is in need of repair/replacement. If you are not able to attend the Gala, you can help us raise the funds necessary to complete this project. The estimated cost for this project is $55,000. We have already raised $20,000 from a very generous donor. This leaves $35,000 to raise. Please consider a donation for this project.
