Funerals

-
As Catholics, we believe God has created each person for eternal life. Our physical death, therefore, is a preparation for eternity. It is with this belief in the promise of eternal life that we celebrate the Catholic Funeral Mass.
It is during the Funeral Liturgy that we remember not only the life of the one who has died but also the presence of the Lord Jesus in that person’s life. At the death of a Christian, whose life of faith began in Baptism and was strengthened by the Eucharist, the Church intercedes on behalf of the deceased because of its belief that death is not the end nor does it break the bonds formed in life.
The Church also ministers to those who grieve the loss of a loved one and aids them in finding consolation through the funeral rites and the sacrament of the Eucharist.
First Steps
The first step in the funeral process at All Saints Parish is for the family of the deceased to work with a funeral home to coordinate a funeral. The funeral director will then contact our parish directly to begin arrangements.
To notify the parish of the death of a loved one, please call 724-287-1759.
