“Blest are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” (Mt 5:4)
Bishop Jaime Soto, joined by dozens of priests, deacons and laity, dedicated and blessed the new mortuary and Resurrection Chapel at Calvary Cemetery and Funeral Center during a special Mass on March 22.
“We dedicate this space to always be a place of reverence for all who come here looking for the solace of the church,’ Bishop Soto said. “Our prayers and our rituals, and this very building itself are a reflection of the divine liturgy that goes on eternally in heaven.”
The new funeral center is located at 7101 Verner Ave. in Citrus Heights. The 21,000-square-foot full-service facility will serve parishes and Catholic community members throughout the Sacramento metropolitan area.
