Funeral

Funeral

  

Funerals are a time of grief, but also of great hope in the promise of Christ's Resurrection.


 At St. Peter's Italian Church, we work with families who have experienced the loss of a loved one to provide care and guidance in preparing for the funeral liturgy. If you have experienced a loss and would like to schedule a funeral at St. Peter,

 please contact the parish office at 

(323) 225-8119 to speak with our Priests.


Though funerals take priority over most parish functions, there are certain days or times on which it may not be possible to hold a funeral, such as specific Feast Days, during other liturgies, on Sundays, or celebrations of other Sacraments. Please contact the parish office for additional information.
