The Catholic Funeral
Prayer for the dead, comfort for the living
The Catholic funeral liturgy gathers the community at several stations to pray for the dead and accompany the bereaved.
It is said that the Irish do funerals well. The funeral ritual is celebrated with a solemnity and dignity that conveys our Christian understanding of both life and death — death not as an end, but as a new birth into life eternal.
In an emergency, if you require a priest, please call Fr. Aidan Crowley P.P. on 086-0434911.
