Located north of Victoria on Cathedral Avenue, west side of the road.

The was the first catholic cemetery for the town of Victoria, which started in 1873. It is no longer in use since about 1899. It is now the property of Saint Fidelis Catholic Church.

After this cemetery was closed, gradually many burials were removed to the present Saint Fidelis Cemetery. Today only these burials remain, and there are no original markers or stones left. Some time after it's closure, someone placed a single marker in the cemetery with all the names, but without dates.

I surveyed this cemetery on Nov 20, 2003.
