Funerals at St. Stanislaus Kostka
Planning for a funeral is not something most of us look forward to with joy and anticipation. However, we Christians know that death awaits us, not as a tragic ending, but as a passage into a new and indescribably marvelous life with God.
" What eye has not seen, and ear has not heard, and what has not entered the human heart, what God has prepared for those who love him " (1 Cor 2:9-10).
If you wish to have a Funeral Mass celebrated at St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish for a loved one, please contact Fr. Brian at the Parish Office at 574-654-3781.
