This crucifix is located high on the hill in Calvary Cemetery in the original priests lot. The cemetery was founded in 1853 and the priests lot dates to that era and was the final resting place for archdiocesan priests. The two large grave stones to the front of the cross are those of Archbishop Kendrick and Archbishop Kain. When the original priests lot filled a new lot was established on the opposite side of the cemetery.
