In 1892 the Saint Augustine's Cemetery Improvement Association, later called the Saint Augustine's Chapel and Cemetery Association, composed of descendants of those who lie buried there, was formed especially for the care and preservation of the grounds and monuments. The Association built the present stone wall, iron arched entrances and picket fence in time for the 75th Anniversary of the dedication of the Chapel and Cemetery on September 24, 1894 which was attended by Archbishop John Joseph ...Williams. Again, in 1918, the Chapel was in poor condition: "spalled-edge slates . . . bare roofing boards . . . broken window panes" (Warren, The Boston Herald, August 11, 1918) and some repairs were made for the October 26, 1919 Centennial of the Chapel, presided over by Cardinal William O'Connell. Two thousand people attended the celebration of the 125th anniversary of the Chapel on July 4, 1944, with Bishop Richard J. Cushing as orator; also included were the South Boston War Service Flag Dedication and Memorial Exercises, the dedication of new headstones from the Veterans of the Civil War, and an elaborate parade.
