Funeral Information
“If one member suffers in the body of Christ which is the Church, all the members suffer with that member.” (1 Cor. 12:26) We are each called by Christ to walk together through death from this temporary life to lasting life in our true home in Heaven. My hope for you and your family — who come to this moment in perhaps sadness, confusion, overwhelmed, certainly immersed in this loss — will find comfort in knowing that you walk together with our parish family from this time of grief to renewed hope in our shared life in Christ. The Funeral Liturgy incorporates the central celebration of the Church and the glory of God, who achieves eternal life for us. As you plan the Funeral Liturgy, every attempt must be made to make it prayerful and a true act of worship befitting of the sacredness of eternal life your loved one now shares in. May Our Lady of Mount Carmel intercede for your whole family to her Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.
