Growing Through Loss

What we have once enjoyed deeply we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.

- Helen Keller

Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted

Matthew 5:4

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, St. Thomas Becket offers no visitation prior to or luncheon following the funeral Mass. Date and time for the funeral Mass is based upon the availability of the church, the availability of a priest, and the timing needed to ensure the church has been properly cleaned before and after any other scheduled celebrations to maintain a safe environment to gather. 

Maximum attendance at all of our services, including funerals, is 150 guests.

The St. Thomas Becket staff is here to support you and your family as you plan or pre-plan a celebration of life. 

Planning typically begins with a meeting with the family where memories of the deceased are shared, a date and time is selected and all aspects from visitation, to the funeral service, to the luncheon are discussed.  Funeral Planning Meetings typically include family members and staff from the following areas:

• Pastor and/or Pastoral Care 
• Liturgical Coordinator
• Music Coordinator

To plan and schedule a funeral at St. Thomas Becket, please contact our pastor, Fr. Tim Wozniak (651-683-9808, ext. 104).

During this time of sadness, we’re here to help any way we can. If you or a family member is struggling with grief or could use the support and assistance of our parish community, please contact Fr. Tim Wozniak (651-683-9808).
