The Prayer
Of
St. Francis
Lord, Make me a channel of your peace.
Where there is hatred let me may bring Love.
Where there is injury, your pardon, Lord
And where there’s doubt, true faith in you.
Lord, Make me a channel of your peace.
Where there’s despair in life, let me bring hope.
Where there is darkness, only light.
And where there’s sadness, ever joy.
Oh, Master, grant that I may never seek.
So much to be consoled, as to console.
To be understood, as to understand.
To be loved, as to love, with all my soul.
Lord, Make me a channel of your peace.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned.
In giving of ourselves that w receive.
And in dying that we’re born to eternal life.

Location

Pre-Planning Of Funerals
We encourage you to make plans for your funeral ahead of time. This clarifies your desires for the benefit of your family. It enables the church to do a better job of serving the spiritual needs of your loved ones. Contact the pastor to make arrangements.
As The Time Of Death Approaches
In these days of privacy laws, Hospitals and Nursing Homes are no longer permitted to share information on the status of their clients.
You and your family need to contact the pastor and church anytime you go into the hospital or a nursing home. It is important to keep the pastor and church advised of the condition of family members.
When possible, as the time of death approaches, it is better to begin a dialogue with the pastor and parish about pastoral care and possible funeral arrangements before the passing of your loved one.
As a minimum, contact the Parish Office and Pastor at the same time or before contacting the funeral home.
