“‘If one member suffers in the body of Christ which is the Church, all the members suffer with that member” (1 Cor 12:26). For this reason, those who are baptized into Christ and nourished at the same table of the Lord are responsible for one another…So too when a member of Christ’s Body dies, the faithful are called to a ministry of consolation to those who have suffered the loss of one whom they love.” - Order of Christian Funerals, no. 8
When a loved one has died, we offer consolation and guidance to the family members in planning a funeral or memorial liturgy. This is best done in person, and appointments are made by contacting Lee, our funeral coordinator. Get started here with our funeral planning guide.
The cost to utilize the Church for your loved ones' funeral is $400 (includes music minister). Online payment is available. Click here. And, if after the funeral, you'd like to express your gratitude to the parish, the priest, and/or the deacon that presided over your wedding, use the funeral payment button below (your donation is tax-deductible).
