When a loved one has passed away, it generally is not necessary to contact St. Catherine's directly to make the arrangements for the funeral. This is usually done through whichever funeral home you choose to use. After the family meets with the director of the funeral home, the director contacts the parish to make arrangements and schedule the funeral. Once the time and date are confirmed, via the parish receptionist, you will need to choose the parts of the mass.
All of the suggested readings for the mass of Christian Burial can be found in the Funeral Guidelines below. Alternatively, you can choose to pick up a copy of “The Order of Christian Funerals” from the parish office. Once you have reviewed the readings, you should fill out the form below with your selections.
If you would like to meet with a priest to discuss the service, it is best to make an appointment or call ahead to make sure that he is here when you stop by.
