Funerals

“We do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, about those who have fallen asleep, so that you may not grieve like the rest, who have no hope.”

1 Thessalonians 4:12-13

It is the Resurrection of Jesus in which we experience hope all-the-while we mourn the death of a loved one. We extend our heartfelt condolences to everyone who has experienced the death of a loved one.

Grieving the death of a loved one is a traumatic experience. Never is death anything to get over; always it remains something with which we must learn to live.

We are honored to help you prepare for the funeral liturgy and are eager to support you as best we can in the time beyond.

We need to surround people with repeated expressions of our beautiful faith as they approach their final moment this side of heaven and enter into eternal glory. Music helps to hoist our beloved into heaven.

To make funeral arrangements, please contact the Parish Office.

“When a group of people sing together, they have to breathe together. When we’re losing a loved one, sometimes it’s hard to breathe. Yet the community is forced to take a breath together, and to match their breath and their voices to one another. It joins the community together, and it’s something beautiful to do for someone who’s just gone beyond your reach.”
