Location of cemetery: 1600 St. Bernard Drive S.E., end of chapel and Stations of the Cross path, Cullman

I can not find it written any where, but this chapel is used for mass during internment, also for mass for the visiting lay people during retreats (silent retreats), and several times a year for the student body for mass and benedictions.

"A few structures have been added to the installation since Brother Joseph died including a life-size bronze statue of Brother Joseph facing his monumental Grotto. After one has toured the installation, a shaded path with the Stations of the Cross leads to the Abbey Cemetery where the monks, including Brother Joseph, are laid to rest. A small stone chapel stands watch over the cemetery. It is a quiet and reflective place, conducive to meditation and contemplation. " ~ professional southerner
