Would you like a Eulogy included in the Mass?

Most churches allow eulogies, however they must be typed, no more than 3 minutes long, and submitted to the clergy a minimum of a 24hrs prior to the mass to make sure it is church appropriate.  Some families choose to not have the eulogy during the mass and will have it during calling hours, at the cemetery, or after the funeral at a gathering. 

Eulogist:

Please give the eulogist our email so they can send us the eulogy and we can forward it to the clergy for them.
