It is blessed by the Church and dedicated to God as a place of worship, prayer and reflection upon divine truth and the purpose of life.  It is a resting place until the day of resurrection for the bodies of the faithful departed, once temples of the Holy Spirit, whose souls are now with God.  It is a final and continuing profession of faith in God and of membership in the Church by those who have chosen to be buried with fellow believers of the ’The Household of the Faith’
