In Catholic tradition, the Funeral Service is a Mass that offers us the loving consolation of God for the loss of our loved one, while at the same time offering hope, as it celebrates our dear one’s birth to new and eternal life with God in heaven.

If you have come to this page to plan a funeral, please accept our deepest condolences for your loss. May God give you peace and strength in your time of sorrow. In the words of a final prayer in the Rite of Christian Burial:

May the love of God and the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ
bless and console you and gently wipe every tear from your eyes.

To plan a funeral, please contact the parish office at 202-337-4835.
