FUNERALS
"We believe in God who is creator of the flesh; we believe in the Word made flesh in order to redeem the flesh; we believe in the resurrection of the flesh, the ultimate fulfillment of both the creation and redemption of the flesh."
Catechism of the Catholic Church, #1015
Although death can be profound and often painful, we also believe that by His death and resurrection, Christ conquered death and made possible salvation for all men.
In burying the faithful, the church confirms her reverence for the great dignity of the human person created in the image and likeness of God, as well as her faith in the resurrection of the body and hope in the life of the world to come.
If you have lost a loved one, please contact the parish office so we can assist you in the funeral. You may also visit Catholic Funeral and Cemetery Services.

By this final greeting "we sing for his departure from this life and separation from us, but also because there is a communion and a reunion. For even dead, we are not at all separated from one another, because we all run the same course and we will find one another again in the same place. We shall never be separated, for we live for Christ, and now we are united with Christ as we go toward him . . . we shall all be together in Christ. – CCC, 1690
