Read More	This cemetery was first established in 1874 and located on the north and west side of St. Mary’s Church on Oxford Street in Woodstock. As the city of Woodstock grew this location became inadequate and the current land was purchased in 1930. The new site comprised of 4.78 acres in total. In the fall of 1930 the work of transferring bodies from the former cemetery had begun. As time went on there were four local Catholic churches using this cemetery. A Board was created to assist the parish priest in overseeing the greater needs of the cemetery with representatives from each of these four churches. In 1984 an additional 17 acres to the west of the cemetery was purchased. In 2010 the Board began the planning and eventually the development of this new property as cemetery grounds. The first burial on this new site was in the spring of 2014. In 2006 Holy Trinity Parish was formed following the amalgamation of St. Rita’s and St. Mary’s churches. The cemetery is now in the care of Holy Trinity Parish located on Devonshire Avenue in Woodstock. Some additional interesting facts: -The first person to be buried on these grounds was Mary Slattery on October 20, 1932. -The Calvary monument at the top of the hill was donated in 1932 by Patrick Greenlees in memory of his late wife Annie Allen. -The first acting female mayor of Woodstock, Bernadette Smith is buried here. -Eleven members of the former Ukrainian Studite Monks who emigrated to Canada in 1951 following WW II are all buried here. The last of this Canadian order was Fr. Jozeph Mokrycky who died in 2002. -The statue of the Blessed Virgin at the entrance was donated from the former St. Mary’s Church following its closure in 2006 and was re-dedicated in 2008
