If you have recently lost a loved one and are looking to have funeral services through any of the campuses/parishes at the Bread of Life Family of Parishes, normally communication happens through the funeral home you are working with to make arrangements. However, if you have questions and wish to speak with someone here, do not hesitate to contact Amy Gray at St. Anthony and Holy Angels, Deb Danner at St. Helen, Will Marsh at Immaculate Conception, or Anita Wagner at St. Mary. If it is after hours please call our after hours and emergency line at 937.272.4898 to make arrangements for a funeral.
After the date and time for the funeral has been confirmed, a trained member of our bereavement team will reach out to you and set up a mutually agreeable time to pick readings and music for the funeral service and share memories of your loved one to assist the presider in preparing a homily.
Funeral Choir:
If you are interested in singing at a funeral, rehearsal is usually one hour prior. We sing songs that are selected by the family. It is accompanied on piano and organ.
