To better assist you in planning for a loved one's funeral, please observe the following procedures:
1. When your loved one passes, the funeral home should be contacted first.
2. The coordinator from the funeral home will work with your family to complete all the necessary paperwork and set a time line for the funeral.
3. Call the parish office and ask for Lester Gonzales, Liturgical Coordinator, to schedule a Funeral Mass or Memorial Mass.
4. Meet with Lester to choose the readings and music for the liturgy.
At the planning meeting you will be asked to share some information about your loved one (hobbies, interests, etc.), choose the First and Second Readings, and make the music selections. This meeting usually lasts 45 minutes to one hour.
