Funeral Planning

When a loved one is passing away, we want to surround them with the Church’s prayers. We pray for them as they are dying.  We ask the parish priest or the hospital chaplain to come and say prayers.

We bring them communion.

The communion given as someone is dying has a special name: viaticum, which is food for their final journey if they are able to receive communion.  We surround them with prayer.

Planning

After a loved one has passed away, we once again contact the priest to help plan the funeral.

Please call the office at   403 257 6054  and we will have one of our priests contact you to help make these arrangements.
