Eucharist
In
the celebration of the Eucharist, the Church most perfectly expresses her
communion with those who have died. The celebration of the Eucharist at the
funeral is an opportunity for the community of the faithful, and for the
family, to “learn to live in communion with the one who has ‘fallen asleep in
the Lord,’ by communicating the Body of Christ of which he is a living member
and, then, by praying for him and with him” (Catechism of the Catholic Church
#1689)
- Day and Time: The Eucharist will be celebrated at St. Mary Catholic Church (575 East College Street, Mount Angel, OR 97362. 503-845-2296) on Thursday November 8th at 11 am. A reception will follow the Eucharist in the Parish Hall.
- Contacts: the House of Studies of the Missionaries of the Holy Spirit (503-845-1181) and St. Mary Parish.
