Funerals

Please contact Parish Priest.

The Rite of Christian Funerals offers a wide selection of scriptural readings for use at a funeral.  Normally, the relatives of the deceased choose the readings, the responsorial psalm, and the gospel acclamation to be used at the funeral Mass.  In choosing the appropriate reading we should to seek find in the readings a particular idea which best expresses the quality of Christian living of the deceased and sets before us the basis of our faith - the Resurrection of Christ and our hope of Resurrection.

More information on the readings can be found here.
