Saint Patrick, as an accepting Catholic community, understands the sadness associated with death and never shuts its door to members or non-members desiring a Catholic Funeral.  Funerals and Memorials are celebrated at our church.  Freedom of music and the ability for a family member to deliver a eulogy are often very important to the wishes of the deceased and we allow this as well.

In Rhode Island, the majority of the Catholics in the state are remarried without the benefit of a church-approved annulment.  In neighboring Catholic parishes, when a person is remarried without an annulment, all rights and privileges are taken away.  The individual is not entitled to a Catholic Funeral Mass.

Your loved one’s Funeral or Memorial Mass can be celebrated with us, affording the deceased the proper dignity and respect as a child of God, for that is what we are – children of a loving Father.
