  • Her obituary reads like it was written by a funeral home staff member who knows little about Catholics, whether "novus ordo" or "traditionalist".  The obituary, besides providing the times and place for the visitation and the Mass, is a last opportunity to witness the faith by the decedent, which might bear fruit among those who read it. 
    Though that apparently wasn't the case here, I have to think that funeral homes just use the verbiage "Mass of Christian Burial" because that is what Newchurch calls it, and they're just following procedure.   There's probably some book of protocol, or something like that, for the nomenclature of various religions.

  • Oh, dear, what a shock!  That explains why I didn’t see any posts from her during Advent or Christmas.  I didn’t know she was sick except that she had mentioned that she wanted to eat healthier and lose weight.  I send my condolences to her family and friends, especially her husband.  I miss her already!


    Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen

  • Wow...  I haven't been on in awhile since we have been really busy...  Seeing this encouraged me to log in again.

    I had no idea that she was so ill...  Thank you to whomever sent the email to Matthew to let us know...

    May she rest in peace!
