Funerals
Catholic Christians often choose to celebrate the life of a loved one upon his or her death. Very often funerals take place in the context of the Eucharist – a moment for the bereaved to give thanks for a life cherished and dearly missed, and to be nourished and comforted through the sacrament.
Funerals usually take place at 10:00 a.m. on the day agreed upon by the family and the parish. As far as possible, the needs and wishes of the family are given first consideration, although the availability of the priest and of the church must also be taken into account.
If you wish, the parish would be happy to arrange for a cantor and/or an organist for the funeral. The fee for each is $150.
Should there be a need to plan a funeral mass, please contact the Parish Office.
Founded by St. Paul of the Cross, every Passionist takes a special vow to spend his or her energies in promoting remembrance of the sufferings of Jesus, the memory of the Cross, and reflection of the meaning of the Cross for the world.
