Our annual summer memorial Masses offer the opportunity to participate and pray for family members and friends who have moved on from this life. You are welcome to attend even if you do not presently have loved ones in a particular cemetery.
The Cemetery Memorial Masses for 2022 have concluded.
Please check back for 2023 dates in the Spring.
Prayers and participation in these Masses is a powerful witness to the important role of praying for the dead, and to our Catholic faith in a life with Christ after death.
"The Mass is the highest form of prayer in the Church, and the most effective prayer that could be said on behalf of those who have gone before us. In Masses for the dead,..."the Church offers the Eucharistic sacrifice of Christ’s Pasch for the dead so that, since all the members of Christ’s Body are in communion with one another, what implores spiritual help for some, may bring comforting hope to others.” (General Instruction of the Roman Missal, 379)
Losing a loved one is one of life’s most difficult experiences. Most Blessed Sacrament is here to help you and your family with your loss through listening, prayer and arranging a Funeral Mass.
To begin the process of planning a funeral for a deceased loved one, contact the funeral home you have chosen and they will call the Parish Office to arrange a date and time for the Funeral Mass. Contact information will be provided to the Parish so we may call you and arrange a time to discuss the funeral liturgy, music and readings.
If you are in need of a listening presence, our trained Care Ministers are available to meet with you at your convenience. Please call Laurie at the Parish office: (920) 231-9782.
