Christian burial is one of the corporeal works of mercy. We are called to love each other through these times.
The primary focus of the funeral is to pray for the person who has died and second to care for their family and friends and help them to encounter the abundant love of Christ in the Church.
Organizing the funeral can be a very stressful time for the family and we have found that following a set of guideline is helpful to minimize this. Please see our funeral guidelines below and contact the parish office at 612-331-7941 to see about scheduling.
