This group of graves appear to be those of former priests and sisters of the Congregation of the Holy Spirit under the protection of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. As one might guess, a Roman Catholic body, and one specializing in missionary work. Each grave has two bodies. It is apparently thought to be more seemly for men to lie with men and women with women.
