St. Bernard's Cemetery Information Online PDF Print Email

St. Bernard’s Catholic Cemetery, Watertown, Wisconsin, is now accessible at stbern.org. You will find names, dates, grave locations, and photos where available.


This is a work in progress and will be updated on a regular basis. If you have information or corrections, please contact Doris (Quinn) Friedl
 
Note that prior to 1920 a good deal of information was lost in a fire and we have tried to update as much as possible through all the paperwork kept since that time and also from newspaper clippings throughout the later years.
 
We appreciate your comments and any additional information that you can furnish especially about those parishioners buried years ago in the older section of the cemetery.
 

To access the Cemetery Information, please click Councils in the menu above, then Cemetery Association and finally Cemetery Map & Info . It will open in a new browser window or tab, depending on your web browser settings.

All people who need spiritual, social, intellectual, and emotional growth and fulfillment shall see Saint Bernard's as a community that supports and encourages their personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

  • A sense of belonging to the Roman Catholic family and a community with other Christians.
  • Their efforts toward unity with those who do not believe as they do.
  • Their ministries, both individual and collective, to carry on the mission of Jesus Christ.
  • Their celebration, through worship, of the relationship of Jesus to the Father shared with them through the Holy Spirit.

As a Church, we the Catholic People of St. Bernard Parish, of the Diocese of Madison, are called by Baptism to live and proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ by, Worshiping God in prayer and sacrament, Teaching and preaching the Word of God; Loving and serving our neighbor.  Gifted and anointed by the Holy Spirit, we commit ourselves to this mission through responsible stewardship of our time, talent and material resources.
