Funerals

The Catholic Church sees the death of a Christian as the end of the earthly pilgrimage and the beginning of a new and eternal life with God. The rites of the Church reflect this belief. These rites aim to assist the dead with prayers of the Church for their eternal salvation in Jesus Christ and to aid the family and friends of the deceased in their time of loss and sorrow with a message of hope and consolation in Jesus Christ.

Please accept our sincere condolences if you are now planning a funeral because you recently lost a loved one. If you are planning in advance for yourself, in order for your wishes to be known, we welcome you.

The death of a loved one is a difficult time for families. Please know that we are here to help you and support you during your time of loss. At the Church of St. Albert the Great our commitment is to assist the family of the deceased in preparing a meaningful liturgy as we turn to God in faith for the reward of eternal life for those who believe in and lived for God in this life and to pray to God for the healing and consolation of those who mourn.

We assist families in the planning of the Funeral Mass, and suggest ways for family and friends to be personally involved. Please complete the Funeral Request Form and Nina Weaver or someone from the parish office will contact you.
