Please accept our deepest sympathies and condolences and above all, our prayers for you and the family at this difficult time. By its nature, grief is certainly a private affair. The depth of love for the deceased is known to you alone. We all grieve in our unique ways. Yet, sorrow can be shared, as we will do together in the Mass of Christian Burial. When people share a common experience, they are united by a special bond.
So we, the parish family of St. Margaret are united with you and your loved ones. As Christians, we believe that the Funeral Mass celebrates our belief that nothing, not even death, can separate us from the Love of God.
The Funeral Liturgy Selections (found below) has been prepared for you. The readings from Sacred Scripture, chosen by the Church, must be used at the Mass; no substitutions may be used in the Mass. The readings enable us to pray the Mass of Christian Burial most effectively. Please be assured that your other family at St. Margaret is praying for you and the happy rest of the soul of your loved one.
