“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me. In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?” —John 14:1-2
When a loved one passes, you may feel overwhelmed and wonder what to do. The St. Rita Bereavement Ministry is honored to accompany you on the journey of healing through the planning and organization of funeral services for your loved one. You can begin by emailing your name and the name of the deceased to [email protected]. You may also call the Parish Office at (626) 355-1292 and ask for the Bereavement Ministry.
Planning a funeral can be an emotionally trying time, and we are blessed to walk this path with you. We will assist you with the selection of scripture readings and hymns for the funeral liturgy. If you have already chosen a mortuary and cemetery, the St. Rita Bereavement Ministry will partner with them to ensure a most beautiful and personalized celebration of life for your loved one. (If you have not chosen a mortuary and cemetery, we can assist you in this manner also.)
If you would like additional information, or if you are interested in pre-planning a funeral, please feel free to email [email protected] at any time.
