Thoughtful Preparedness
Planning ahead brings peace to you and your loved ones, ensuring your final wishes are honored with sacred dignity. We guide you through كل liturgical selection for a meaningful Catholic farewell.
Liturgical Guidelines & Planning
The Order of Christian Funerals is a series of rites conducted by the Church as she accompanies her children on their final journey. These guidelines help families honor their loved ones while remaining rooted in the hope of the Resurrection.
The Vigil & Funeral Mass
The Vigil (Wake) and the Funeral Liturgy are for all deceased members of the faithful. We gather to pray for the soul of the departed and to offer comfort to those who mourn through Scripture, music, and the Eucharist.
Miscarriage & Stillbirth Pastoral Care
We offer special liturgical outreach for families who have suffered the loss of a child through miscarriage or stillbirth. This including naming ceremonies, blessings, and burial rites intended to acknowledge the sacred life of the child.
Funeral Pre-Planning
Choosing readings and music in advance can be a profound gift to your family. Our pastoral staff is available to help you navigate these choices according to the Church's liturgical norms.
