We
invite you to Come Home to Communion | Vuelve a Casa a la Comunion
On June 1, the general dispensation
(or excused absence) from Sunday Mass and holy days of obligation established
in March 2020 will end. Anyone who has not already returned to regular full
participation in Mass is encouraged to Come Home to Communion.
If you have already returned to
regular full participation in Mass, use this opportunity to encourage a family
member, friend or neighbor to Come Home to Communion.
A particular dispensation still
exists for those who are symptomatic, or who have been advised by a doctor to
avoid public gatherings, or who are otherwise ill or homebound, as well as
their caregivers. Contact your pastor with questions about whether
or not you are dispensed.

Announcements for both Churches
On this
Memorial Day, we offer a prayer for those who died in service to our country.
In your hands, O Lord,
we humbly entrust our
brothers and sisters.
In this life you embraced them with your tender love;
deliver them now from every evil
and bid them eternal rest.
Have
you ever considered a new way to serve the church? Has the Holy Spirit touched your heart to
consider a vocation as a deacon? We are
in the inquiry phase right now with a new deacon formation class beginning in
January/February 2022. The formation
period is a period of discernment.

What Should
a Catholic
Know about
Cremation?
The Catholic Church permits cremation. For a number of reasons, the church prefers the burial of the
body, but it does permit the celebration of a funeral with cremated remains.
Among the reasons in favor of burial of the body are
these:
·
Seeing the body confronts people with the mystery of
life and death.
·
The body naturally recalls stories of faith, family
and friend-ship, the words a person spoke, the deeds a
person performed.
·
Although we have virtual electronic friendships,
people best encounter another person through the body.
·
The body experienced the sacraments – being washed
in baptism and anointed in confirmation, and by eating and drinking the body
and blood of Christ in communion.
·
The body is destined for the glory of the
resurrection.
·
The final care of the body demonstrates dignity for
the whole person.
·
Burial imitates the burial of Jesus body, and thus constitutes
another layer of discipleship.
If a Catholic chooses cremation, the church prefers
that the final disposition of the remains be in a public place, such as a
cemetery.
Many
survivors make other arrangements: they retain the ashes at home, divide them
among family members, or scatter them to the elements. The Catholic Church
disapproves of these practices.
According to the Vatican’s Congregation for the
Doctrine of the Faith, the conservation of ashes in one’s home is not
permitted, nor may they be scattered in the air, on land or at sea. Ashes may
not be preserved in mementoes such as jewelry (Ad resurgendum
cum Christo).
The careful placement of ashes honors the remains of
the deceased in the same way that burial of the body does. Furthermore, it
gives a permanent place where future generations may visit to remember, and
where the person’s name can be honorably etched.
Some
crematoriums have a place where the family may gather during the process. If a
family desires to be together, they may spend the time offering suitable
prayers of thanksgiving and hope, such as Psalms 23, 25, 42, 51, 93, 114 and
115:1-12, 116, 118, 119, 121, 122, 123, 126, 130, 132 or 134.
There
are three possibilities for the sequence of events. Here they are in order of
preference:
1.
The body of the deceased is present for the vigil
service and the funeral Mass, and cremation happens before the committal at the
cemetery. In this case, the body may be placed first in a ceremonial coffin
that will be interred, and the removed from it for the cremation.
2. The
cremation and committal take place before the funeral Mass. In this case, the
cremated remains are interred in a cemetery or mausoleum, and then the mourners
gather for the Eucharist.
3.
The cremation takes place before any of the funeral
rites begin, and the cremated remains are present for the vigil, the Mass, and
the committal.
Whenever
the ashes are presented in public for the funeral services, they should be
treated with the same dignity and respect offered a human body. The container
should be dignified, and the pallbearers should carry it with honor. Because of
the compact nature of the ashes. Someone may be tempted to carry it more
casually. It is all that remains of a human being. It deserves respect.
