Additional information
Located in a low-walled property on the east side of a main thoroughfare occupying the majority of the block in this historic part of the City of Winnipeg, there is only one entrance for vehicles.
Over the years, the contents of some graves have been moved in order to facilitate reuse and this was not always done in a well-documented manner. As a result, markers may no longer be near the burial place and plots may no longer contain the remains of the original burial.
NOTE: This is a crowded and complex cemetery. Out of an abundance of respect for other volunteers, before requesting a photo of your loved one's grave in this cemetery, please contact the staff at the Assumption Roman Catholic Cemetery at the number noted here. That is where the records are kept.

This urban cemetery contains graves representing the lives lived of people from a generous mix of ethnic backgrounds; something that reflects the global presence of the Roman Catholic faith.

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).
Among the most noteworthy people buried in the cemetery (designated all as "Memorable Manitobans" (or "MM") by this Society) are Nicholas Bawlf, William Richard Bawlf, Thomas William Morton, and Patrick Shea.

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. Also available to MGS members is a searchable online database named the "MGS Manitoba Name Index" (or MANI). Some additional information is contained in the 1996 MGS publication "Carved in Stone: Manitoba Cemeteries and Burial Sites" (revised edition, Special Projects Publication, 106 pages).
