When a loved one dies, the task of making arrangements can seem overwhelming and stressful. We are here to serve you, your family, and friends during this time. Once a funeral director has notified the church of a death, a priest will assist you to plan an authentic and dignified vigil, wake, and funeral service for your loved one.

If you wish to make preplans for your funeral arrangements we have a short booklet with information to assist you with all your liturgical planning.

To schedule a planning meeting please contact the parish office at 319-362-7181.

As Catholics, we affirm that Christ has conquered death. Through this lens we celebrate, even in our grief, the passing of one who has died. "This saying is trustworthy: If we have died with Him we shall also live with Him." 2 Timothy 2:11

If you are interested in assisting with this ministry by altar serving, singing in the funeral choir or serving funeral luncheons, please contact the parish office at 319-362-7181.
