Funeral mass service
//
Misa de difunto

Welcome. We are praying for you and your family in this difficult time.
We are here to help plan a funeral mass for your loved one. We hope to meet with you soon to set a funeral mass date. All of our services are only offered Wednesday and Thursday at Noon. Below you will find resources to review readings and music, select your choices, and submit them. For more questions or information, please call Ruth at the parish office. Thank you.
Fr. Jaspers is currently away on sabbatical and will be not be back until February 2026. Please be patient with us as we seek support of other priests in the area to come celebrate funeral masses at their availability. We will still walk and support the family in any way possible to make a mass happen here at their spiritual home. Thank you for your understanding.

Bienvenidos, estamos orando por usted y su familia en este tiempo dificil. Estamos aqui para ayudar a dar una misa funerario de su ser querido fallecido. Esperamos poder reunirnos con usted lo mas pronto posible para poner una fecha de misa. Las misas funerarios solo se ofrecen Miercoles y Jueves al mediodia. Abajo, puede encontrar las lecturas que ofrecemos, escuchar cantos opcionales para la misa o dejar que nuestro parroco y musicos escogan las partes de la misa. Para mas preguntas e informacion, favor de llamar a Ruth a la oficina. Gracias.
El Padre Jaspers esta tomando su sabatico, y no regresa hasta el mes de febrero 2026. Pedimos su paciencia cuando pidan misas funebres por que tendremos que buscar a otros sacerdotes que nos apoyen a celebrar misas funebres en espanol. Son muy limitados los sacerdotes que hablan espanol, asi que no siempre podremos asegurar una misa en espanol, pero si trabajaremos lo mejor posible con las familias para poder tener una misa para su ser querido aqui en su casa espiritual de la Ascension. Gracias por su entendimiento.

- Prayers of the Faithful - (Min 4 -Max 6) 1. Our (sister/brother) was given the promise of eternal life in Baptism: Give them communion with your saints forever. 2. Many people live in darkness and isolation. God of light, in Baptism our (sister/brother) received the light of Christ. Scatter the darkness now and lead (her/him) into your marvelous light, 3. Our (sister/brother) are the bread of eternal life, the body of Christ: Raise (her/him) up O God on the last day. 4. Many people experience the pain of hunger, God of plenty, our (sister/brother) was nourished at the table of the savior. Welcome (her/him) now into the halls of your heavenly banquet. 5. Those who trusted in the Lord now sleep in the Lord. God of comfort, give refreshment, rest and peace to all whose faith is known to you alone. 6. We pray for our (sister/brother) and (her/his) (husband/wife), children and grandchildren. May they feel the healing power of Christ in the midst of their loss. 7. We pray for our (sister's/brother's) family and friends and for all who were good to (her/him) and cared for (her/him) in this life. May they be consoled in their loss and strengthened in their love for one another. 8. Each day many people grieve the death of a loved one. God of love, our (sister's/brother's) family and friends seek comfort and consolation. Heal their pain and dispel the darkness and doubt that come from grief. 9. We all know people who have died. God of life, may our deceased relatives and friends meet our (sister/brother) at the gates of heaven and together may they watch over us who mourn their loss. 10. Many family members could not be with us today. God of oneness, unite their spirit with ours as we celebrate our (sister's/brother's) life. 11. We come together to remember our (sister/brother) and the life (she/he) lived among us. God of consolation, comfort us in our sadness, give us certainty in our doubt, and the courage to live each day with hope and love. 12. Many people die of violence, war and famine each day. God of peace, show your mercy to those who oppress others and give freedom to those who suffer unjustly. 13. We pray for all who have died in the hope of rising again, especially all the deceased members of Ascension Parish. Welcome them, O God into the light of your presence. 14. We pray for all who are gathered here to worship in faith. O God our creator, make us one and gather us all into your kingdom.
