Preplanning yours or a loved one's funeral liturgy 

Just as preplanning your funeral with a funeral director, you can now preplan your funeral liturgy and make your wishes known. To begin, proceed to “Funeral Planning Guide.”

When A Loved One Dies

On behalf of the St. Joseph, Pillar of Families Parishes, we wish to express to the family and friends of the deceased our sincere condolences. The following information is provided to assist those who will be planning the funeral liturgy.

At the time of death, we help you with planning the Funeral Mass.

Funeral Planning Guide

Family members may choose the Scripture readings for the Mass as well as hymns, and General Intercessions. Your family can review the funeral planning guide per parish by clicking the buttons below. 

Bring along completed funeral liturgy form, which can be found by clicking the buttons above, to the meeting when finalizing Mass Preparations/Funeral Arrangements with the Church.

GriefShare

A GriefShare support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through this 13-week group, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way.

This program is offered numerous times in our family of parishes in addition to surrounding parishes.
