universal and consistent policy throughout the diocese in regard to this practice. Policy: a. There should be no eulogy at a funeral Mass. The homily at this Mass should be based on the text of the particular readings chosen for the Mass; b. It is both an appropriate and compassionate thing to express condolences to the family of the deceased on behalf of the priests and parishioners, and c. a eulogy is permitted as part of the Bible Vigil at the Funeral Home the evening
preceding the burial.August 17-18 - Sununer Institute for Liturgical Music - Villa Madonna Retreat House, Brad d'Or.
