"Life so as not to fear death. For those who live well in the world, death is not frightening, but sweet & precious."        St. Rose of Viterbo

When a loved one is passing away, we want to surround them with the Church’s prayers. We pray for them as they are dying. We can ask the parish priest or the hospital chaplain to come & say prayers. We bring them communion. The communion given as someone is dying has a special name: viaticum, which is food for their final journey, if they are able to receive communion. We surround them with prayer.

After a loved one has passed away, our parish community is here for you. Please make an appointment with the priest by calling the Parish Office (403-278-7556) or emailing frcolin@stbonaventureparish.ca
