OUR GRAVEYARD

Saint Mary of the Annunciation’s Graveyard is a treasury of Charleston’s Catholic History that is linked to the present. The first burials took place in the late 18th century. It is estimated that about 550 are buried here including ancestors of current parishioners. The initial task of the Graveyard concentration unit within the Building and Grounds Team established by Father West is to map the graveyard markers and to provide an accompanying inscription names listing that can be used by family, visitors, and researchers and is well under way with Volunteers and the assistance obtained by a Team member for Graduate Conservation Students. Additional information regarding the graveyard is expected in future parish publications.

Please check back here in the future for additional resources including a graveyard map and the listing and locations of persons buried there.
