Funerals
Florence Chromicz Funeral Monday May 21 @ 10:00 AM
IN THE SURE AND CERTAIN HOPE….
The words below, taken from the Order of Christian Funerals, express the sure and certain hope of the community of Our Lady of Victory Parish that God, who created all men and women in love, will not fail us at the time of death.
“In the face of death, the Church confidently proclaims that God has created each person for eternal life and that Jesus, the Son of God, by his death and resurrection, has broken the chains of sin and death that bound humanity. Christ “achieved his task of redeeming humanity and giving perfect glory to God, principally by the paschal mystery of his blessed passion, resurrection from the dead, and glorious ascension.” (Order of Christian Funerals, No. 1)
“At the death of a Christian, whose life of faith was begun in the waters of baptism and strengthened at the Eucharistic table, the Church intercedes on behalf of the deceased because of its confident belief that death is not the end nor does it break the bonds forged in life. The Church also ministers to the sorrowing and consoles them in the funeral’ rites with the comforting Word of God and the Sacrament of the Eucharist.” (Order of Christian Funerals, No. 4)
Pastoral Staff here at Our Lady of Victory are here to help you through this process and meet with you to help plan the Liturgy if you wish.
Rev. Denis Theroux, Pastor
Kathryn Ling, Pastoral Associate
