SACRAMENTS OF HEALINGCatholic Funeral Rites
A Journey Home
The Catholic funeral rites are a source of great comfort and hope for grieving families. Through the prayers, readings, and rituals of the Church, we commend our loved ones to God’s mercy and celebrate the promise of eternal life rooted in the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
At Saint Katharine Drexel, we are honored to walk alongside families during one of life’s most difficult moments. Our funeral ministry is here to help you navigate the process with care, compassion, and faith.
Kathy Moore coordinates our funeral ministry and is your first point of contact. She will guide you through the process and connect you with our pastoral staff.
