Resources

In the funeral pre-planning process, the Bereavement Coordinator will use a booklet titled, "Through Death to Life" by Joseph M. Champlin.

The Catholic funeral Mass is a prescribed Mass, and you will have the opportunity to select certain aspects that will personalize the Mass.

These include:
- Readings
- Music

Readings:

First Reading

Outside Easter Time:  Old Testament reading
During Easter Time: New Testament reading

Responsorial Psalm - see Music website for specific selections

Second Reading

Gospel Reading (may be chosen by the priest)

Music:
The All Souls music website has specific selections for music used throughout the funeral.  These include Opening Song, Responsorial Psalm, Offertory, and Communion.  We do not use a closing song as the Funeral Rite prescribes the Final Commendation.

Please reference www.allsoulsmusic.com for additional information on music selections
