Christian Burial
It is fitting and proper that baptized Christians be buried from the church. Please call one of the priests at or near the time of death of a loved one to arrange for the ministrations of the church (the sacraments of Communion, Holy Unction and Penance, also known as Last Rites) and for the Burial service. For information please call the parish office at 614-882-2706.
