Letter from Bishop Serratelli regarding Funerals
Article:   "Don't Scatter the Ashes"

If you have recently lost a loved one through death, please allow us to sincerely extend our prayerful condolences on your recent loss.

We, at St. Matthew the Apostle Parish, want to do everything we can to support you through this difficult time in your life. We are honored to prayerfully and meaningfully celebrate the life and legacy of your loved one through the Wake Prayer Service at the funeral home, the Mass of Christian Burial, and the Prayers of Committal at the cemetery.

In order to better help this process, please see a copy of our Readings and sacred music, to assist in the planning of the funeral or memorial mass.

Again, our sincere condolences and if you should be in need of any assistance, please contact the Parish Office at your earliest convenience at:  (973) 584-1101.

May God Bless you and your family during this difficult time,

Fr. Brian Quinn
