The Mass of Christian Burial
The Mass of Christian Burial is the primary celebration of the funeral rites. This Mass celebrates our belief, as Christians, that death is a passage to a new life and, ultimately, to resurrection and eternal union with God. The resurrection is the theme that is reflected in the readings, the hymns and prayers.
As an expression of our faith in Jesus Christ everyone in attendance is encouraged to actively participate in this Mass. To help the family select the readings, hymns and prayers that are appropriate for the funeral Mass, we have provided a list of reading and songs which are appropriate for a Funeral Mass.
Below is a link to the Family Participation in the Funeral Mass. Please look through and make your choices. You can then let your funeral home know your choices and they will get them to the church, or you can contact the church directly.
