Eternal Rest Grant Unto Them, O Lord.

 We are most sorry to hear of your recent loss. Please know that we as a parish community are praying with and for you during this difficult time of grief. It is our honor and privilege to be of assistance to you and your family.

We as Catholics believe not only in the immortality of the soul, but also in the resurrection of the body. Therefore, we profess hope in the face of death through the funeral rites. The Church provides a number of prayers for the faithful in order to (1) accompany the dying of a loved one, and (2) to strengthen our faith upon their death. Through private prayer and public funeral rites, we strengthen our faith and hope, comfort those who mourn, and bury the bodily remains of the deceased with care befitting what was the Temple of the Holy Spirit.

This page will provide resources to help you prepare a funeral liturgy in accordance with the rites of the Roman Catholic Church. Please read the resources first, then fill out the form below (or contact us to fill out the form with you). Do not worry if you need help or feel overwhelmed by the information.
