The promise of eternal life with God once the earthly journey of a faithful disciple has ended is the greatest hope, comfort and strength of our Catholic faith. The One in whom we believe is the reason for our hope. From the moment sin and death entered the world, God remained with us to the point of offering his Son to save us. Through this sacrifice, God, who is love and for whom nothing is impossible, conquered death and promised eternal life to those who are faithful to him. The funeral rites invite us to lift our gaze to heaven so that we may find hope in our sadness. Joined in prayer with one another, we are consoled, and we dare to welcome Christ into our lives during our time of grief. For as our Lord has promised, “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them” (Matthew 18:20). When a loved one has passed, please call the church office or have the funeral home call the office to arrange the funeral.
