Music selections

Because music has such a dignified place within the funeral liturgies at St. Joseph Catholic Church, we presume that our organist and cantor will be assisting at each funeral. Guest musicians or cantors will be considered at the family’s request and could be incorporated into the funeral liturgy according to specific abilities and preferences of each musician or cantor.

Be aware that we will not play or sing secular music in the church.

 

If you’d rather us pick the music, we will default to the following selection:

 

Opening: 461 Amazing Grace

Offertory: 420 How great Thou art

Communion: 539 Be Still my Soul

Recessional: 459 Be not Afraid
