Funerals

Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Matthew 5:4

Our prayers are with you as you grieve the loss of a loved one. As a parish family, we experience every part of our spiritual walk as the community of God – we are never alone.

As a faith community, we gather for a Mass to pray together with you and your family for your loved one. You will meet with a member of our Bereavement Ministry to help guide and support you through the Funeral Mass preparation process, and to share some details about the life of your loved one.

Following the death of a loved one or parishioner, please contact our Parish Office to schedule a meeting 708-422-0234.

Memorial Candles:
St. Gerald Bereavement Ministry is offering a special Memorial Candle for you to remember and honor those you love who have passed away. A burning flame is symbolic of the love our deceased family members and friends take with them into eternity.
