MAY GOD’S PEACE, WHICH IS BEYOND ALL UNDERSTANDING, BE WITH YOU IN THIS TIME OF GRIEF FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
From the Priest and Staff, our condolences to you and your family for your loss. Trust in the Risen Lord!
To set up a Funeral at St. John the Evangelist it is the best policy to have the funeral home contact the Priest directly. They will make the arrangements with him, this way he can be contacted even if the office is closed. However, feel free to contact the office with any questions or concerns you may have (810)669-1029. We understand that planning a funeral can be overwhelming, especially while grieving. On the funeral planning link you will find some forms that are meant to help you, not add to your feelings of being overwhelmed. Anything you cannot fill out, or do not understand, do not worry about, you can ask the parish staff or the Priest.
The forms are meant to help both you and us, plan a funeral worthy of your Loved One. They contain information needed for our records, to help the Priest be a better minister, and to help plan the funeral liturgy. To help you plan the funeral.
