Information About a Catholic Funeral at Sts. Simon & Jude

The Bereavement Ministry exists in order to provide a funeral that honors the deceased and offers family members and friends the opportunity to grieve in the context of a Catholic Community of faith.  When a family member contacts the parish office (714-962-3333) they will receive a return call from a bereavement minister who will schedule a meeting with family members.  At that meeting, a date and time will be set for a Vigil and Funeral.  In addition, the minister will personally guide you and be with you through every step of the bereavement process.

More information concerning funerals at Sts. Simon & Jude Church can be found below:
