funerals
We know that the loss of a loved one is the most painful experience anyone can go through. At Our Lady of Grace, we honor the lives of those who are in the presence of the Father, while accompanying the bereaved family. Call the Parish office or email us to [email protected] to start the process of preparing a Funeral or Memorial Mass.
Please consider:
- Celebrating a Funeral or Memorial Mass is a Sacrament. Therefore, we ask that our families respect liturgical and administration guidelines. Memorial or Funeral Masses are celebrated on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays at either 10:00 am, 10:30 am, or 11:00 am.
- Music for the Mass is REQUIRED. Therefore, we ask that all families arrange music with our Director of Music. No exceptions.
- You can bring a photo of your beloved to be displayed during the Mass. You can also bring programs to distribute amongst your guests, if a burial or gathering is to follow.
- We ask for at least 2 weeks notice to start preparations for funeral or memorial Masses.
