Bishop Buddy Scrapbook 1941-1945

T HE founders of Holy Cross Cemetery long had recognized the preference of many for mausoleum interment, with its features of sta- bility and enduring protection; however, it was not until 1939 that Holy Cross Mausoleum was a reality. Today it stands, an imperishable temple of steel reinforced concrete, bronze and marble, reflecting the spirit of eternal care. The dominant impression of the mausoleum is one of massiveness, purity, rich _color and daylight brightness. Its design and equipment denote intelligent anticipation of every need and desire: receiving vaults for temporary placement; rooms for care of flowers; un- thought-of conveniences for quiet seclusion; a complete sanctuary.

The various recesses are, in them- selves, chapels, named : Sacred Heare ; Blessed Sacrament; Cruci- fixion; Transfiguration; Resurrec- tion; lmmaculata; St. Boniface; Sr_ Patrick. Each is adorned with an art-glass window of becoming design. In addition are Guardian Angels and St. Anthony chapels. for children, with appropriate windows.

A commanding sacred chancel, flanked on either side by tiers of richly veined colorful marbles, facing the stately crypts of the mausoleum. Ac regular intervals, recesses break the surface on either side; and high· above is a procession of arc glass windows depicting the Fourteen Scacions of the Cross.
