Family members and friends are not permitted to sing or play instruments during the Funeral Liturgy. This is to ensure the quality of the Liturgy. The Music Director will be happy to assist you in choosing appropriate music for the Funeral Liturgy. Please contact him at least one week prior to the Funeral Liturgy.
