Guidelines
-
The first step in planning a funeral or memorial Mass is to contact a priest and check his availability.
-
The Mass can be held in either our main church or in the chapel. (fewer than 100 people is typically in the chapel).
-
You will be asked to help choose readings, music and intercessory prayers (links are found above). The priest will help you decide on readings and prayers and the music director will assist in choosing music.
-
Please refer to the Funeral Planning sheet below for more detailed instructions.
