The Our Lady of Hope Parish Bereavement Ministry is hosting a Funeral Pre-Planning Program at the Social Center of Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, Harwinton. The program will be presented by Chris and Jonathan Ryan, of the Gleeson-Ryan Funeral Home in Torrington.
The Ryans will team with Father John Granato, to present all the choices available to prepare a proper Catholic funeral. They will allow time to answer specific questions you may have.
Chris and Jonathan will offer various options for casket burial or cremation, and the many available financing methods. Father John will present the spiritual significance of the funeral ceremony, as well as explaining the specific guidelines allowed by the Catholic Church.
If you would like to attend the funeral pre-planning program, please either email Parish Bereavement at cburzins@aol.com, or call the Our Lady of Hope Parish Office at 860-379-52151.
