As Catholics, we believe that death is not the end, but a passage into new life with Christ. A Catholic funeral is a sacred moment when the Church gathers to pray for the soul of the deceased, to commend them to God’s mercy, and to support family and friends with the hope of the Resurrection.

The funeral rites of the Church—whether a vigil, funeral Mass, or graveside prayers—are rooted in faith, scripture, and prayer. They offer comfort, strength, and the assurance that our loved ones are held in God’s eternal love.

If you have recently lost a loved one, please know of our prayers for you. Our parish is here to walk with you during this difficult time and to help you plan the funeral liturgy in a way that honors your loved one and proclaims our shared hope in Christ.
