If you have experienced the loss of a love one, please accept our deepest condolences and sympathies. During this difficult time, we want to assure you of our prayers and of our support. It is our hope that the celebration of the funeral rites of the Church will be a source of consolation for you and for your family.

It can be challenging to plan for the funeral of a loved one in the midst of personal grieving. Our parish staff is very sensitive to this, so please know that we are here to guide and assist you through the planning process.

We have provided a Funeral Planning Guide to make the funeral planning process as simple as possible. All funerals in our parish are celebrated according to the Order of Christian Funerals, one of the official ritual books of the Catholic Church. While the funeral does take place according to the structure of this Order, families and loved ones of the deceased are invited to be involved in making certain decisions about the funeral liturgy, including selections of music, readings, and family participation. 

We invite you to take some time to look through the various options available and to choose ones that reflect the faith, life, and personality of your departed loved one. You can indicate these choices on the Funeral Planning Aid. Please save this sheet and share it with us when we reach out to you to discuss the funeral liturgy in more detail.
