Bereavement Services

Guidance is provided to the family in the selection of the Readings, Intercessions, Offertory Gifts and Eulogy if desired and preparation of persons to assume this part of the liturgy.

Annunciation B.V.M. parish provides adult Altar Servers for funeral liturgies.

A reception following the burial or funeral Mass is an option available to families through the Knights of Columbus in McSherrystown by the bereavement committee of the organization.

Families are contacted at various times throughout the grieving process to give support and comfort during this difficult process. Masses are celebrated throughout the month of November for all those who are now enjoying new life in the presence of Christ. On November 2nd a special remembrance at Mass occurs for those whose death occurred during the past year.
