Memorial Prayers at our Altar

There is never any charge or cost for you to request private memorial prayers from Church of the Apostles. Please feel free to send us names of those departed (whether recently or not, in any circumstances).

Private Video of Memorial Eucharist

(“Requiem Mass” in the Anglican-Catholic tradition)

We can celebrate a private memorial Mass (usually on a weekday), with a professional keepsake video available afterwards. There is a modest donation required to cover production costs.

Global Livestream Memorial Mass

(Families & Friends join in real time – worldwide)

This special service normally requires 30 days of preparation and scheduling, as well as increased prepaid donation to cover more robust staffing & production.  The service follows live Mass format in almost every respect, with the addition of global online livestream to allow real-time viewing from all locations.  Availability is limited.

For the Departed

We pray for our Loved Ones after their death “because we still hold them in our love, and because we trust in God’s presence those who have chosen to serve him will grow in his love, until they see him as he is.”

The communion of saints is the whole family of God, the living and the dead, those whom we love and those whom we hurt, bound together in Christ by sacrament, prayer, and praise.

Into your hands, O merciful Savior, we commend to you [name]. Acknowledge, we humbly beseech you, a sheep of your own fold, a lamb of your own flock, a sinner of your own redeeming. Receive them into the arms of your mercy, into the blessed rest of everlasting peace, and into the glorious company of the saints in light.

Amen.

(from the Book of Common Prayer)
