Funeral Services
The Catholic funeral observes the Church’s faith and tradition.
Death appears to separate us from our loved ones, but it is not the eternal parting but moving on to the new life in God.
The funeral reveals the pascal mystery of Christ and emphasizes the hope for everlasting life. Church celebrates mass for the deceased, becoming one with the resurrected Christ after death, and we offer prayers and comfort to the ones left behind.
