Funeral Announcements -

When members of a faith community die, the presence of parishioners at the Funeral Mass serves as a visible and aural sign of support, compassion, and comfort. This presence brings to life Christ’s words from the Sermon on the Mount: “Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted” (Matthew 5:4).
When a death of a loved one occurs, one of the more stressful and difficult tasks is notifying friends, family, and parishioners in a timely fashion. The funeral announcements posted below allow our community to share links to obituaries of our recently deceased as well as details of funeral services or memorial Masses.
Also, visit the following pages for future funeral planning at our parishes:- Funeral Planning at Ascension and St. Edmund Parish
- Funeral Planning at St. Catherine of Siena-St. Lucy and St. Giles Parish
See below for announcements of funerals held at our Oak Park Parishes. Funerals are posted for one month.
