The sacred and communal nature of our Catholic Funeral Celebrations requires careful planning in the selection of music. This planning will insure the ability of all those gathered to actively participate in the celebration. Because of the sacredness of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, secular instrumental or vocal music, or the use of recorded music of any kind may not be used.
These hymns/songs are possible at each Church in our parish:
The Responsorial Psalm is chosen from the following three options (Choose 1):
Psalm 23: The Lord is My Shepherd
Psalm 27: The Lord is My Light and My Salvation
Psalm 103: The Lord is Kind and Merciful
