The template guides personalization by replacing placeholders such as Name and appropriate references, includes options for hymns and scripture parts, and sets printing and formatting instructions for readable A4-to-A5 reduction. It emphasizes coordination with the priest celebrant and musicians and follows the full liturgical flow from introductory rites through the liturgy of the word and eucharist.","Catholic Funeral Mass Template\nIntroduction\n• This template provides an outline of a funeral booklet based on the Catholic Order of Christian Funerals approved and revised Roman Missal (London: Catholic Truth Society, 2010) approved for use across the English-speaking world. • This booklet was set up for those who are not familiar with the Catholic Funeral Mass. Alternative liturgical prayers to the ones provided here, in addition to scripture readings, can be located in the Order of Christian Funerals (1989) or Roman Missal (2010), and Lectionary for Mass (1981), respectively, or other liturgical preparation resources that are available via Liturgical Offices and Catholic Bookshops around Australia. Please consult with your priest celebrant. • In the outline, the word Name should be replaced by the deceased person's name and the relevant references to his/her and brother/sister should be included where indicated. • The pages are set up so that they can be printed firstly on A4 size paper and then reduced. Size 18 font for headings and Size 16 font for prayer texts reduce to a readable size on an A5 size order of service. • Read through the template carefully to ensure that you can follow the overall structure and content. • Please discuss the content of the template/booklet with the priest celebrant (and musicians) before it is printed.\n\u000f\nFront Cover\nFuneral Mass or Mass of Christian Burial\n[Photo or Christian symbol]\nIn loving memory of Name Date of birth – Date of death\n\u000fFUNERAL MASS\nINTRODUCTORY RITES\nGREETING (at the door of the church) (stand)\nPriest: May the Father of mercies, the God of all consolation, be with you.
