Built to resemble the cathedral in Providence, Roman Catholic Bishop Thomas J. Tobin on Saturday [June 19, 2021] dedicated the Saints Peter & Paul Mausoleum at St. Ann Cemetery in Cranston. The chapel at the center of the 22,000-square-foot building was near to capacity with 200 people, some of whom may have gotten slightly wet. They didn’t complain. In fact, in was a blessing.

CRANSTON — At the western end of St. Ann Cemetery, in a bucolic grove, stands the Diocese of Providence’s newest place of rest for the dearly departed. With its twin 50-foot-high towers the Saints Peter & Paul Mausoleum bears a resemblance to the diocesan cathedral in downtown Providence. The newly finished 22,000 square-foot building, which will provide much-needed interior and exterior burial space for 2,086 caskets and 720 cremation niches, is a work of art, crafted of some of the finest materials available.
