Funeral Readings

Below is an attachment that contains the readings for the Funeral Mass. 
The family should select one Old Testament Reading (A section, or during the Easter season, AA section), 
one New Testament Reading (B section), 
and a Gospel (C section).

A family member may read the Old Testament reading,
and a second person the New Testament Reading. 
The Gospel is always read by the presiding priest.

The second attachment contains the Responsorial Psalms. One of the psalms may be selected. The cantor always leads the singing of the Psalm.

For planning purposes, you may also request a funeral book that will contain all the readings. For more information, please contact one of the priests at the parish office 703.356.1255.
