Ministers and Mass Participants 

(parish pastoral minister volunteers are available to assist with liturgical roles as needed)

Readers (Lectors) one, two or three family members or friends may read or lead prayers

Eulogy; an optional sharing of memories of how your loved one was a gift or inspiration to your family and friends. We recommend the eulogy be written out, perhaps by more than one family member, and be given by one or two speakers that have prepared in advance so as to avoid duplication. The Eulogy takes place immediately after Father’s (or Deacon’s) Homily and should only take 3-5 minutes maximum.

Worship Aid (prepared by Parish Staff)

Mass of Christian Burial

Placing of Pall by family members a white cloth is placed over the casket or urn and Father sprinkles holy water her/him as a remembrance of your loved one’s Baptism.
