Deceased Loved OnesDeceased Loved OnesDeceased Loved OnesDeceased Loved Ones As Christian disciples we are always trying to look for opportunities to carry out the love of
Christ within our parish and community. One of the corporal works of mercy is to provide a proper funeral Mass and burial for our
deceased brothers and sisters. Our parishes of Gate of Heaven and St. Brigid are currently in significant need
of parishioners of any age who would be willing to help serve funeral Masses. Funeral Masses typically begin
between 9:30-11:30am and your availability would be sought several days in advance, and they occur
Mondays through Saturdays. With setup, Mass, and clean up, each funeral would last for a total of an hour and a half. Training will be provided. Once trained, the serving is quite easy. Please consider helping the parish
and the families of the deceased with this our most important work of mercy. If you are interested or have questions, please contact Fr. Bennett please contact Fr. Bennett please contact Fr. Bennett please contact Fr. Bennett at the parish office phone or by e-mail: ericmb80@gmail.com. Thank you!

Rachel mourns her children; She refuses to be consoled, because her children are no more. Thus says the Lord: “Cease from your cries of mourning. Wipe the tears from your eyes…There is hope for your future.”
