Please choose from our list of suggested Scripture readings.
The General Intercessions (also known as the Prayer of the Faithful or the Petitions) come after the homily.
They are the community's prayers for immediate needs and the needs of the world.
Please indicate the names of 2 - 3 people who will bring the gifts to the altar.
The family is welcomed to choose one person to offer a personal reflection. The reflection is usually more personal about the deceased, speaking of values and virtues. It should be prepared beforehand and written out. It is requested that a copy be given to Patricia Scouten no later than the day before the funeral. The person giving the reflection should be aware of the sacredness of the occasion and the Church setting. Please limit remarks to a 3 - 5 minute maximum. The remarks should not take precedence over the homily, but should be a simple, personal reflection of the person's life. It is fine to mention one or two short stories, but beyond that it is not possible to sum up a person's life in those moments — nor is it necessary. Allow the deceased person's life to speak for itself.
Please indicate name and relationship to the Deceased.
