Consolation Ministry

When a Loved One Dies

As a community of faith, we share in the sorrow of the loss of your loved one.  It is the purpose of the Consolation Ministry to help you through this difficult time especially regarding arrangements with the Church.

Once you have selected a funeral home, the funeral home will call the church office to arrange for a date and time for the Funeral Mass, Memorial Mass, Funeral Home Service, or Graveside Service.  This date and time must be established prior to any other arrangements with the church to ensure that a priest or deacon is available.  You will then be contacted by the Consolation Ministry representative to meet for a consultation to make the necessary preparations for the celebration of the Funeral Mass or Memorial Mass.

If you are not utilizing the services of a funeral home and are working directly with a crematory, you will need to call the church office to set the date and time for the Funeral Mass, Graveside Service or Prayer Service. You will then be contacted by the Consolation Ministry representative to meet for a consultation to make the necessary preparations for the celebration of the Funeral Mass.
