Funerals & Memorial Masses

Holy Name of Mary Parish Community offers our prayers and sympathy to you at the death of your loved one.  We would like to be a support to you through this difficult time.

“Do not let your hearts be troubled.  Trust in God still, and trust in me.  There are many rooms in my Father’s house; if there were not I should have told you.  I am going now to prepare a place for you, and after I have gone and prepared you a place, I shall return to take you with me; so that where I am you may be too.”  John 14:1-3

The Catholic liturgy always provides courage and comfort for those mourning the death of a loved one.  However, the more the family, relatives and friends actively plan and participate in the bereavement ceremony itself, the deeper will be the consolation, strength and healing.  For this reason, the Church encourages families to become involved in the planning of the funeral.  You may select hymns and readings for the service, and if you choose, you may write the Prayers of the Faithful (the petitions or general intercessions).

For funeral arrangements please contact Brenda McAllaster-Luna, Grief Support Coordinator at 909-599-1243 ext. 137 or Brenda@hnmparish.org

Grief Support Group is open to anyone and all who has suffered a loss through the death of someone they love. It meets the first Saturday each month in the Hall. There is also a Healing Mass and Anointing at 8:30am in church. We begin at 9:15am and you are welcome to attend at anytime throughout the year.

Soulmate Loss meets also on the first Saturday in the Hall for those facing the unique challenges of losing a spouse or partner. This is immediately following the General Grief Support Group and it starts at 11:00am. You are very welcome to attend both, the 9:15am and Soulmate Loss.
