When experiencing a family death, please contact our parish offices. Arrangements are made in conjunction with the mortuary of choice. Preparations for the funeral liturgy and prayer service at the vigil will be made with the pastor.
An opportunity for a lunch in our parish social halls is available after the funeral and burial. The family is asked to furnish some of the food. Parishioners assist with serving and provide desserts and beverages.

Our Blessed Mother calls one and all. The spirit of the Legion of Mary is that of Mary herself.
