Death is time for the ministry of consolation. The Order of Christian Funerals provides the moments and the means to express the sadness of loss and the hope of faith.

The rituals are a journey… spiritual, physical and emotional… from the deathbed to the place of burial.

The rituals of the Catholic Church offer a witness of faith, a comfort to the bereaved and a solidarity between the living and the dead.

These resources will help in planning the Funeral liturgy for your loved one in order to express your love for them and our faith and trust in God and the gift of His Kingdom that awaits us all.

If you have any questions while completing the Funeral planning paperwork, don't hesitate to reach out to Fr. Nick at [email protected] or by calling (412)761-1552.
