This Roman Catholic cemetery on Osborne Street in Winnipeg was established on 12 September 1884 and a restoration program began in 1951. It was (re)consecrated on 11 September 1960.

A small brick building designed by local architects Samuel Hooper and Charles Henry Walker, and constructed in 1906 by contractor James McDiarmid, is a chapel and winter vault used when frozen ground prevented the digging of graves.

At ground level around the chapel are plaques commemorating noteworthy Roman Catholic priests:

Joseph Everett Cahill (MM), Maurice Alonzo Cournoyet (MM), John Homer Delaney (1919-1963), James Henry Fitzgerald (1905-1975), George Bernard Flahiff (MM), Percy Joseph Holloway (1892-1973), William John Holloway (1893-1973), Anthony Henry Kerklingh (1912-1976), Ladislas Joseph Kreciszewski (1897-1951), Joseph Paul Kurys (1896-1964), Roland Lavoie (1916-1985), Bernard Martin Linscott (1912-1980), Francis Xavier Macaulay (1891-1972), Angus Kennedy Macdonell (1906-1962), James Kenneth McIsaac (1903-1980), Adolf Michael Mikolas (1910-1964), Ethelbert Mullally (1900-1956), Eugene Ludwig Oroskovits (1910-1979), Joseph Lorenzo Paulhus (1895-1980), Amedee Roy (1874-1962), Louis Gaston St. Jacques (1897-1966), Alfred Arthur Sinnott (MM), Francis Paul Strazewski (1907-1969), Mecislaus Stanislaus Trzaskoma (1907-1979), Charles Vachon (1906-1980), Leonard James Edward Wall (MM), Jan Kanty Warczak (1906-1962), and Ignatius Edward Zielonka (1894-1972).

A broad cross-section of Manitobans are buried here. Their many stories are told in a variety of local history books and newspaper accounts. Free digital versions of many of these are available online in the University of Manitoba Digital Collections. There is also a list of such books organized by district and town name on the Manitoba Historical Society's website on their page entitled "Finding Aid: Manitoba Local History Books".

A list of burials in this cemetery is available from the Manitoba Genealogical Society (reference #0191), transcribed by a member or members in 1984-1986 and updated in 2002.
