REMINDER! Mass to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Mt. Calvary Resurrection Chapel will be held at 5:30 pm this evening at the Wheeling hillside chapel.
Resurrection Chapel Mausoleum at Mount Calvary Cemetery in Wheeling was the first in the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston.
It was on Oct. 4, 1975, Bishop Joseph H. Hodges presided over the blessing and dedication of Resurrection Chapel Mausoleum.
From the moment the doors opened to the large crowd that gathered at its dedication, the Mausoleum remains a place of beauty.. The polished marble interior and granite exterior present a stately building where visitors step respectfully into a space encouraging prayer and peaceful silence for their loved ones.
In 1977, a breathtaking stained-glass window was installed of the Risen Savior based on a design by Rev. Msgr. Frederick J. Schwertz, P.A., a longtime chancellor of the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston.
