Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord
​
​
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
We are blessed to pray and give thanks with you for the gift of your loved one’s life and through the rites and prayers of Holy Mother Church to entrust them back to God our merciful Father by offering the Church’s Solemn Celebration of the Eucharisitc Sacrifice. The Catholic Liturgy is the Memorial of Christ’s Death and Resurrection. And it is through remembering what Our Lord Jesus Christ has done for us, that we celebrate the gift of Eternal Life that is promised to those that have been baptized into Christ Jesus and who die in the Lord’s friendship.​​​

Assumption Funeral Guidelines:
​ The following are guidelines for planning the Mass for your loved one here at Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Catholic Parish:
​
-
Funerals can only be scheduled on Tuesdays & Fridays. The Mass is celebrated at 11 AM. A rosary may be recited in the church 30 minutes before the Funeral Mass.
-
The Scripture readings and music can only be selected from our list of approved readings and hymns. We do not play pre-recorded music in the church. The parish will provide a reader for the liturgy.
-
You may only use Assumption Parish musicians.
-
There is a $500 cost to cover the musicians and funeral coordinator. This must be paid in cash before the start of the Funeral Mass. An additional financial gift to the church and the clergy is always encouraged.
-
One eulogy, delivered by a single person, of up to 10 minutes may be delivered before the start of the Funeral Mass. The eulogy must be written out and approved by the priest beforehand, and may not include any profanities or sentiments contrary to the Catholic faith. Families should advertise the eulogy in their invitation as starting at 10:45 AM.
