This is the "new" cemetery (founded 1949) associated with The Parish Church of St. Helena (founded 1712). It is located in a separate city block under separate fiduciary ownership from the church and the cemetery surrounding the church. This is an important distinction because of the ongoing litigation between The Episcopal Church and The Parish of St. Helena regarding ownership of St. Helena's property. This new cemetery has borne a number of names according to the records of the Office of the South Carolina Secretary of State: St. Helena Church Cemetery (1949); St. Helena's Episcopal Church New Cemetery (2006); New Cemetery of The Parish Church of St. Helena (Episcopal) (2008); New Cemetery of The Parish Church of St. Helena (2011); and The Cemetery Corporation (2012), owner of what is now called Sacred Ground Cemetery to sever all naming references to Episcopal, Anglican, and St. Helena. Many of the graves identified as being located in the cemetery surrounding the church are actually located in this separate cemetery, and their locations need to be changed in FindAGrave.com to reflect their actual locations.
