All the sacraments, and principally those of Christian initiation, have as their goal the last Passover of the child of God which, through death, leads him into the life of the Kingdom. then what he confessed in faith and hope will be fulfilled: "l look for the resurrectino of the dead, and the life of the world to come." Catechism of the Catholic Church 1680
What do I do when a loved one dies?
Whether your loved one dies at home, at the hospital, or at hospice or a nursing home, the first call to arrange the funeral should be to the funeral home of your choice. The funeral director will transfer the body to the funeral home in preparation for the funeral itself. Then he or she will meet with you to make final arrangements.
At that meeting, you will receive a copy of our
Parish Funeral Planning Guide which will walk you through the visitation, funeral service, and burial. Specific questions regarding the details of the funeral can be discussed either with the funeral director or with a member of the Parish Staff.
If you are not using the services of a funeral home contact the parish office directly to make arrangements.
