Biographical / Historical

Mount Carmel Cemetery

Mount Carmel Cemetery, originally known as St. Mary's and St. Francis de Sales' Cemetery is the oldest existing catholic cemetery in Toledo. Located at the corner of Lagrange Street and Manhattan Boulevard, Mount Carmel Cemetery has been in existence for more than 100 years.

Sts. Peter and Paul Cemetery

Sts. Peter and Paul Cemetery was located in South Toledo at the corner of Western and Wayne Streets. According to the Catholic Cemeteries, burials took place there from 1867 - 1923. In 1928 and 1929 the city of Toledo negotiated with the parish to purchase the land and consequently the bodies were removed and re-interred at Calvary Cemetery.

Calvary Cemetery

Calvary Cemetery is located at the corner of Dorr Street and Parkside Boulevard. It was founded in 1886 and serves as the resting place of more than 102,000 interments.
