Funeral Music Selections
-
The music selections offered by the parish express the spirit of these directives within the Order of Christian Funerals. In the person of our parish musicians and cantors, the Office of Music and Worship offers its services to meet these directives and serve the spiritual needs of our parishioner-friends. A list of the selections offered for the current liturgical year is available on the website. Should you wish to hear a clip of the music for these selections before meeting our parish pastoral associate, you may wish to avail yourself of the Internet (Google, for example).
When you review these selections, let the lyrics and melodies speak to you so that your choices reflect your family’s expression of faith in the Paschal Mystery.
May God hold you and your beloved deceased in the palm of his hands.Selections
