The death of a loved one is one of the most difficult experiences of life. The prayerful support and assistance of your Church family can be indispensable and we work very closely with the Funeral Homes to plan a traditional Funeral Mass, a simpler style prayer service, a graveside committal, or another appropriate remembrance.
Our Ministry of Consolation accompanies the bereaved in planning the Funeral Mass. Following the Funeral, our Ministry of Bereavement reaches out at certain milestones (for example, the birthday of the deceased, 1st year anniversary of death) to offer continued prayers, and spiritual support.
The printable Funeral Guide answers many of your questions, and provides Readings for the Funeral Mass.
