Four former archbishops interred in Surrey

On Jan. 14 Archbishop Timothy Casey's mortal remains were moved to the Gardens of Gethsemani's Resurrection Mausoleum from St. Peter's Cemetery in New Westminster.

Archbishop Casey was archbishop of the Archdiocese of Vancouver from 1912-1931 and was responsible for moving the cathedral from New Westminster to Downtown Vancouver.

He is now interred with three other former archbishops: Archbishop William Mark Duke, Archbishop Martin Michael Johnson, and Archbishop James Carney.

The story was featured in the Jan. 31 issue of The B.C. Catholic.
