Funerals

At St. Agnes Catholic Parish, we accompany grieving families with the prayer, dignity, and hope that flow from our faith in Christ’s Resurrection. The Church offers the Funeral Rites to entrust the soul of the departed to God’s mercy, support the family in mourning, and affirm our shared hope in eternal life.

We are sorry for your loss and are here to accompany and help you during this difficult time.


The following are the Funeral Rites:

  • VIGIL FOR THE DECEASED is the principal rite celebrated by the Christian community in the time following death and before the Funeral Mass. It is usually celebrated in the funeral home when family and friends gather around the coffin.
     

  • FUNERAL MASS is the central liturgical celebration of the Christian community for the deceased.
     

  • RITE OF COMMITTAL is the final prayer of the community of faith. It may be celebrated at the grave, tomb, or niche and used for burial at sea. Planning for the Catholic Funeral Rites should be made directly with the parish.

Suggested donation for a Funeral Mass: $500

It is Catholic practice to have Masses said for the departed. Usually, families do a trio (3), a novena (9), or Gregorian Masses (30) as well as a mass of the one-month anniversary and every year on the anniversaries of the date of death. Masses celebrated have infinite value for the deliverance of the soul from purgatory.
