Bring a brown bag lunch (we’ll provide drinks and dessert) as we unpack all the details about planning for a Catholic funeral. It is our hope that some of our retirees and older parishioners might find that a good time to join us, but of course, it’s open to all, and if you can’t make it, we are happy to visit with you individually.
We’ll go through the Funeral Rites, and have information on what to do at the time of death, and other considerations to keep in mind. You can have everything decided (music, scriptures, vigil, rosary, etc.) in advance to be carried out as you wish and relieve your family members from making those choices after your death. We’ve had a number of parishioners do so over the years and their survivors (some of whom are not actively practicing their Catholic faith) are always so grateful that mom or dad took care of everything themselves.
