FUNERALS

s”At the death of a Christian, whose life of faith was begun in the waters of baptism and strengthened at the eucharistic table, the Church intercedes on behalf of the deceased because of its confident belief that death is not the end nor does it break the bonds forged in life. The Church also ministers to the sorrowing and consoles them in the funeral rites with the comforting word of God and the sacrament of the eucharist” (Order of Christian Funerals, 4).

St. Elizabeth Seton is one heartfelt parish family. During the difficult moments of loss and grieving, we are honored and privileged to accompany our parish families as together we commend the souls of their loved ones into the hands of our Father in heaven through the ancient funeral rites of the Catholic Church. The Bereavement Ministry at St. Elizabeth Seton assists our priests in providing grieving families prayerful support and comfort during the funeral rituals. Our Ministers guide families in planning the funeral Mass by helping them select meaningful readings, music, and prayers to honor the deceased.
