Grief needs to be shared. Our Catholic community stands by you in your loss. We will support you as you remember, honor, and commemorate the death of your family member. St. Catherine of Siena Church offers a variety of services to help families as they grieve.
A team of music ministers—choir, accompanist, and cantors-are available to serve at the funeral liturgies. It is customary with churches that a stipend is offered to both the accompanist and cantor. A typical offering is $125 for the Cantor and $150 for the Accompanist.
If the family would also like to have the funeral liturgy live-streamed on the parish website, Facebook page, and YouTube channel, this can be arranged for an additional stipend of $150. Please note that any music for the funeral liturgy will need to be selected and approved in advance in accordance with the parish's live-stream copyright license administrators, OneLicense and CCLI.
Near the Feast of All Souls, which is November 2, St. Catherine’s will host an Evening Prayer of Remembrance for all who have lost someone. In a special way, we honor those who have died since November of the previous year. All are welcome to attend.
