THE "LAZARUS BURIAL FUND" has been established to assist those Catholics of our parishes who die without the financial means to have a traditional Catholic burial. Commonly, without help, they are faced with the terrible prospect of being cremated by their non-Catholic relatives or even the State. This is an excellent way to fulfill one of the Corporal Works of Mercy: "To bury the dead." (In order to get a tax deduction, please make your check out to Blessed Sacrament Church, and indicate that is for the "Lazarus Fund"). Thank you for your continued generosity!
