Wissler had also sold land for The Elora Municipal Cemetery, beginning in 1864, directly across the street. Saint Joseph's: In 1872 St. Joesph's Catholic parish at Fergus (3 miles east of Elora, built 1854) became a satellite mission of the larger congregation at St. Mary's where most weddings, confirmations and funerals were being held. Having outgrown its tiny church graveyard (used approx. 1854-1872) at Fergus, interments was also switched to the much larger St. Mary's Catholic cemetery. Some bodies were even moved from Fergus to Elora as land around St. Joseph's Church was re-claimed for parking. Some stones remained (leaning up against the building) as did some of the graves near the grassy slope fronting St. Joseph's. Years later both parish names, Saint Mary the Immaculate & Saint Joseph, would be included in the Elora Catholic Cemetery name, although locally it is best known as simply, "St. Mary's" Some of the Parish priests have included: 1920s Fr. Sullivan 1940s-1950s Fr. Vincent Matthew Shea 1960-1961 Fr. Thomas Gerald Hill 1962 - ? Fr. Gillen 1970s - (early) Fr. Schefter 1970s - (later) Fr. Clifford Day 1980s - Fr. Jordan 1990s - Fr. Sherratt 2014 Fr. Rafal Tomon
