I have the cemetery volume form CCGS that covers St. John's This says that it is located between East Main Street and East Green Street behind the Carroll Co. Public Library. It also says that the church was condemned in 1968 because of a weakened roof that all of the buildings except the rectory (school, church, convent) had been razed by 1977. "Several large Shriver family monuments are located in the cemetery and is is anticipated that Sergeant Shriver, a prominent politician during the Kennedy era and a native son, will be buried there." Perhaps there are still some burials taking place there. Just taking a quick glance through, I see deaths as recent as 1992. T. Herbert Shriver and his wife are listed as being in this cemetery.
