This booklet has been prepared to assist your family in planning the Mass of Christian Burial for your loved one. We hope that by choosing your own readings, music, and ritual movements, you and your family might share more fully in the liturgy, and express your care and love for the deceased.

Enclosed with this booklet is a liturgy planning form to be returned when you meet with the priest or liturgist in your planning meeting. If you need assistance, please contact Phil Hylton, Director of Music & Liturgy, email: phylton@smgaz.org. Be assured of the prayers and concern of our parish during this time of sorrow.
