Funerals

Christians treat the corpse of a dead person respectfully and lovingly, realizing that God has called him to the resurrection of the dead.

It is a traditional part of Christian funeral customs for the remains of a dead person to be buried in a dignified manner in the earth and for the grave to be decorated and tended. Today the Church also accepts other funeral arrangements (for instance, cremation), as long as they are not interpreted in a way contrary to the belief in the resurrection of the dead.

Missas por alma

As famílias que tenham vontade de oferecer o sacríficio da eucaristia por alma de um ente querido deverão preencher um envelope para o efeito que se encontra, nas mesas de apoio, ao fundo da igreja. Isto acontece para a missa do 7º dia bem como para as restantes. Assim sendo, a celebração destas eucaristias dispensam qualquer marcação prévia.
