As a parish family, we extend our deepest sympathy and prayers for those among us who have lost loved ones. We are here to accompany our families through their time of mourning and provide the Funeral Services of the Catholic Church to bring peace and healing.

If you are preparing the funeral for a loved one, please contact the funeral home first. The funeral home will then call our parish to arrange a date and time for the funeral. One of our funeral coordinators will call you to set up a time to plan the funeral liturgy.

Please see the documents tab for copies of the Funeral Readings, Guidelines (from St. Mary Parish), Planning Form, and Cremation Guidelines). The Funeral Planning Form can be filled out with your preferences and finalized with the clergy.

• Funeral Pre-Planning: You can use our Funeral Planning Guidelines to pre-plan a Funeral Mass at St. Patrick Parish for yourself or for a loved one. Please contact the parish office to get a copy of our funeral planning sheet. Completed forms should be placed in the person’s will, and copies can be provided to our parish office and the family contact(s) entrusted with making arrangements for the funeral.

If you are considering cremation, please read the Cremation Guidelines compiled by one of the priests in our diocese.

We may be able to provide a luncheon following the funeral services in our lower church hall. Please call our parish office to ask about availability.
